About this ebook
Grieving the loss of her child and a life shattering betrayal from the love of her life, Ellie hides herself from the world, determined never to be hurt again.
But the long forgotten gods of an ancient land have other plans.
Forced into a magical bond with two strangers, Ellie is given a choice. Succumb to the will of the Gods, or die.
Now this misfit trio must depend on each other to survive.
To earn their freedom from the bond, they must uncover long lost secrets and unlock an ancient prophecy. A prophecy protected by a ruthless and cunning assassins' guild known only as the "Guardians of the Ankh". A prophecy that will change the human world forever.
Hunted across the desert plains of Egypt, the trio must stay one step ahead of these merciless, cold-blooded killers who are determined to ensure the potentially cataclysmic prophecy does not come to pass.
But something inside Ellie tells her that fulfilling this quest is precisely what humanity needs.
Even if it means the trio facing their worst fears, being hunted to the end of the earth, and maybe losing their lives in the process.
After all, some things... some people... are worth dying for.

About the author
Hazel Longuet is the author of the House of Scarabs series, mythological action thrillers that follow a trio thrown together by a heritage passed down their family trees for over 3,000 years. A passionate reader, Hazel’s first love was always writing, and an unexpected illness enabled her to start writing the first book in her series, House of Scarabs. She draws from her varied life experiences to frame much of her writing.
Hazel Longuet’s survived a plane crash, a revolution, and even nearly drowned twice - so, to say she’s accident-prone is an understatement! A gypsy at heart, Hazel loves to travel. She has lived or worked in Bolivia, Colombia, Egypt, Dubai, and Sweden and has travelled to every continent except Australia. She was raised on the grounds of Longleat, an English Elizabethan stately home, where she cleaned out lions’ cages and guided tourists around areas of the house.
