The Sixth Hour

By Listy Hanel

She was chosen by Anubis to be his aspect in the land of the living.

She is one of the Neter-shuwt, the god-shadows, protectors of Pharaoh's greatest treasure: his heir. This generation, Horus and Set have both sent their shadows, and Anubis has chosen a woman, a rare honor.

Anubis-shuwt and her seven fellows are finding their current charge most difficult, as Princess Netari rebels against her father and the man he has chosen to be her husband, placing herself and her guardians in far more danger than anyone realizes.

When disaster strikes, Anubis-shuwt finds herself in the company of strangers from Babylon, with most of Syria between them and their shared goal. Now, she must risk everything to save her princess from evil and her heart from the jaws of Ammut.

 

Listy Hanel's debut novella is a historical fantasy based on the mythology of Ancient Egypt. Any resemblance to persons living or mummified is purely coincidental.
