Love and Death in the Land of Souls
Bok av Jeff Bagato
Using power granted by the god Amun Ra, the dead pharaoh Thutmose traps Tema's soul in the underworld. To save her lover, Heta must travel to the land of the dead once again, where she faces several formidable obstacles: the demons that guard the Night, a vengeful Thutmose, and the greatest of all gods, Amun Ra himself. Fearing that her magical skills will not be strong enough, Heta releases her old foe Menanau and forms an alliance with him. Together they must cross the barren desert of the underworld, assemble an army of homunculi and dead beasts, and battle Amun Ra's forces before they can attempt a rescue. At the precipice of the god's pit of soul killing fire, Heta is pushed to her limits and finds success more than she bargained for. This novel is set in an alternate history of ancient Egypt. Here, necromancy produces results, strange beasts come to life, the dead seek revenge on the living, and mortals must battle gods to ensure their own salvation.
