About
In a world at the crossroads of myth and memory, the living and the dead are no longer bound to their proper places.
Koshei and Tyfon, brothers from Ancient Egypt, grow up in the shadow of war and loss, and swear to honor their fallen father and defend their homeland. Far to the north, a young girl named Doryah watches her mother's funeral twist into a nightmare-one that convinces her that only fire can keep the dead from rising.
Twenty years later, the brothers, now soldiers in Pharaoh's army, crush an invasion from across the Great Green Sea, but what they took to be invaders are refugees. Among the survivors, Doryah, hardened by flight and grief, bridges the divide of language and culture to give the brothers a warning: the dead are restless, and something ancient is calling to them.
Charged by Pharaoh to trace the source of the rising dead, Tyfon, Koshei, and Doryah embark on a perilous journey from the sun-scorched banks of the Nile to the burned shores of Achaea. Together they uncover a truth older than empires, a game played by a god who has lost all mercy-where the cost of winning may be nothing less than their souls, their homelands, and the fragile balance of the world.
