"One bears the spear, forged in fire and tempered in blood. One bears the ankh, forged in light and tempered in breath."
The kingdom of Egypt thrives under the rule of Pharaoh Thutmose III. But despite this, whispers begin to blow across the desert sands. Of land that sickens with corruption. Of sacred fire turned against the living. Of Sekhmet, the goddess of war and healing, her soul fractured.
Tia-Hemet, a healer-priestess devoted to Sekhmet's teachings, and Neferaset, a soldier forged by blade and battle, are drawn together by signs and events no temple or army can ignore.
Individually spurred by vague dreams and prophecies, their journey to find and destroy the corruption's cause will take them far from safety and familiarity. Along the Nile River, across desert dunes, and to places long abandoned. And the further they go, the more they feel the same flame stirring within them. Terrible, sacred, and bound to both ruin and renewal.
They will burn within it... or rise from it.
"Daughters of the Sun", the first book of "The Soul of Sekhmet" series, begins an epic saga of sacred fire, devotion, and the fragile line between what destroys and what restores.
