Magic of the Nile: Gods of Egypt

The standalone sequel to Priestess of the Nile...picks up about fifteen years later and tells the tale of Tyema, who was the younger sister in Priestess of the Nile... After a childhood spent scorned and ignored by her family because of her crippled foot, Tyema was magically healed then installed as the High Priestess of his temple by Sobek the Crocodile God. But Tyema is still haunted by her memories, scarred by the abuse she endured. Despite Sobek's protection, as an adult she's become a near recluse inside the temple grounds... Until Captain Sahure arrives in her remote town, sent from Thebes on an urgent mission for Pharaoh, requiring High Priestess Tyema's help. From that moment on, her quiet, safe life is upended in ways she never could have expected. But after a whirlwind romance with Sahure, the two part as Pharaoh orders him to undertake another assignment on Egypt's dangerous frontier, far from Tyema's remote town. Heart-broken, Tyema is ready to return to her life of loneliness, official duties and, now, regret. But the Crocodile God has other plans for his priestess: she must uncover the sorcerer who threatens Pharaoh's life with black magic. Soon enough, Tyema finds herself thrown into the chaos of Pharoah's court, neck deep in intrigue and danger. Just when she thinks she can't take the pressures of a very public court life and her secret investigation for the Crocodile God any longer, Sahure re-enters the scene. But is her former love there to help or to hinder? Can they resolve their differences and work together to find the dark sorcerer who threatens Pharaoh and Egypt? Will the love between a proud warrior and a shy priestess lead them to a future together?
