The Gods of Egypt are mighty. But to act in this world they need mortal vessels. Trapped in a slave yard in Egypt, tormented by spells of madness, a young Greek named Korax struggles to regain his memory. Purchased by the High Priest Harnouphis, he is given an Egyptian name, transported to a temple on the Nile, put into service as a translator. But Harnouphis also has another plan: to tap the young Greek's extraordinary talent as a seer to advance his own dark ambitions. As his wits return, Korax forges a plan of his own: to learn enough magic to escape Egypt and return to his home island of Rhodes. But before he can act, he must answer a calling from the Goddess Isis. "Are you willing to serve the gods?" A novel of mythology, action, and magic, set in the Age of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
