About this eBook

Discover an urban fantasy based on Egyptian mythology and set in an alternative version of modern London & York where the Egyptian Empire took the place of the Romance Empire. Follow Ani, a trainee priestess in the temple of Anubis, as she learns about mummification, the rites of the dead, and temple politics alongside her jackal familiar and the High Priest's son, Nik.

A rival Blessed, family drama, and a High Priest determined to punish them make Ani and Nik's jobs harder than they should be.

When Ani and Nik travel to the York Temple of Anubis to oversee the burial rites of a distant relative of Nik's, the last thing they expect is to find themselves uncovering more temple secrets.

With a new Blessed at the temple, a body to prepare, and their concerns over what might be happening in London to contend with, they already have their hands full.

Can Ani call on a favour from her mentor in order to uncover the truth behind the temple's new Blessed apprentice?

Ratings and reviews

At this point, I’m beginning to suspect that Ani’s more the Investigator of Anubis than she is his priestess. A new assignment and another mystery to solve. But, between supportive friends and mentors, Ani will have it all handled just fine. I’m really enjoying this series. It’s fun to see the ways the author has blended ancient Egypt into our modern world. And no matter how history plays out there are some universal truths that are inescapable: bad guys will do bad things for bad reasons.

Nik's Aunt Satiah has died, and High Priest Ahmose sends Nik and Ani to the York temple in his stead to prepare her for burial and to send her on her way to Duat. Ani and Nik don't understand why but are willing to go. While at York, the pair uncover another inconsistency about the temples of Anubis, this time a false Blessed. This story has intrigue and romance, ending with a cliffhanger. Very highly recommended. I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review

Nic an Ani are sent to another temple given a task neither are sure they're qualified to perform. While there, Ani becomes suspicious about that temple's blessed. I love these characters. They're all wonderfully well written and fascinating, but Ani and Nic are particularly compelling. I enjoy their interactions and their ability to find trouble even when they're not looking for it. A little romance, a mystery, an interesting world, and an unexpected twist, I definitely think this is a must read
