Summary
A forbidden book was buried with the dead for a reason.
When Setne Khaemwaset, learned son of Pharaoh and servant of Ptah, enters a tomb beneath Saqqara seeking the legendary Book of Thoth, he finds the dead prince Naneferkaptah, his wife Ahwere, and their son waiting for him. Before Setne can take the Book, Ahwere tells him what forbidden knowledge cost her family.
But Setne believes knowledge belongs to the living, and warnings only sharpen his desire.
Centuries later, in the House of Life at Memphis, a copyist named Merit discovers that the damaged manuscript preserving Setne’s story may not simply record the past. It may still be acting on those who read it.
A dark historical-supernatural novel inspired closely by the ancient Egyptian tale commonly known as Setne I.Series
