    About this series

    In 1420 BC Egypt is ruled by Pharaoh, priests speak magic spells, and the dead commune with the living. Secrets are revealed and Ahmose, a scribe-in-training, finds himself bound by a promise once made by an archivist who suffered an untimely end. From the Valley of the Kings, to the edge of the Delta, and the wilds of Canaan, this tale of crime, love and loyalty spans across generations. Stories within stories intertwine and unravel, each character bound to the other through time, each touched by the mysteries and beliefs of ancient Egypt. Can Ahmose fulfill the archivist’s legacy? The fate of Egypt hangs in the balance.

      Egypt 1420 BC...Book One begins when the shadow of a dead man is summoned to the world of the living. On the moonlit banks of the Nile he watches as a boy is pursued. He knows the boy, his name is Ahmose, and he knows the fiend who is trying to kill him... Only a few months before Ahmose had been working the land on his family’s farm, but everything changes when leaves to attend school in the magnificent temple of Amun in Thebes. Under the watchful eyes of the priests, Ahmose visits the House of Life where the injured are cured by magic and he learns from the sacred texts stored in the House of Books. In ancient Egypt the heart is the seat of all thought and emotion, and listening to the texts Ahmose learns that the gods as well as mortals suffer from love, envy and revenge: prime motivations for the archivist’s murder.

      In Book Two, Ahmose continues the archivist’s legacy. He makes a promise, which he intends to keep –– but good intensions are one thing and fulfilling the archivist’s task is another. It is more difficult than he could have imagined and key bits of information have gone with the archivist to the grave –– or have they? In the meantime Egypt prepares for war. Strife with the Sand-Dwellers to the east threatens stability and even Ahmose and Kai’s friendship is put to the test. In the midst of conflict, the archivist’s murderer returns and he is looking for revenge. He would like nothing more than to silence Ahmose forever.

      Two years have passed since Ahmose began his scribal studies in the temple of Amun in Thebes. He is now Sage Ani’s assistant, and together they travel to Pharaoh’s tomb and oversee the correction of a powerful but dangerous text. Despite Ahmose’s best intentions, the all-important promise he once made remains unfulfilled. He knows that has to act, but before he can complete the task once given to the archivist, the past returns with a vengeance. With a new conspirator on his side, it seems that the archivist’s enemy will indeed achieve his heart’s desire. In this last book in the trilogy of The Lost Spells of Egypt the destinies of Kai, Baal and beautiful Astarte converge in one gripping, and wholly satisfying finale.
