Includes Author's Note with historical notes.

"Sesha and Ky, children of the pharaoh's royal physician, are left charming snakes and stealing food to survive after a brutal fire takes their parents and their home. Unsure of whom to trust, the pair are found and brought back to the palace, despite misgivings that the royals are somehow involved in their parents' deaths. Sesha is tasked with finding the rare and valuable medical document her father was transcribing for the pharaoh, who needs it urgently for his upcoming campaign. Befriended by another scribe and a young princess, Sesha must navigate palace intrigue and temple treachery while desperately seeking the priceless papyrus. For not only does the scroll have the power to reveal the circumstances around Sesha's parents' death and mitigate any casualties of battle, it may also be the only thing that can save her brother's life." --
