Publisher Description
I thought I was hunting Sekhmet, but she might be hunting me.
My name is Never, Seeker extraordinaire.
Or at least I was until I almost got a Prince killed, and now, no one will hire me.
Except for Jacqui Walker, my childhood nemesis. She offered me an olive branch dipped in gold, a way to win back my status. All I have to do is find the missing ankh of Sekhmet.
Never mind that it was lost a century ago. Never mind that others are looking for it too. Or that the Twelve – the very organization she hopes to present it to, the people who rule everything in this world – have asked me to work for them instead.
Torn between two powerful factions, either way I go, I'm screwed. And the closer I get to finding the pieces of the amulet, the louder I can hear the purring in my ears.
Customer Reviews
This was a book I couldn’t read fast enough
From a very young age, I’ve been fascinated by ancient Egypt. And as a devotee of most things feline, Bastet and Sekhmet were my particular favorite areas of study. I absolutely adored this dystopian modernization of the ancient myths. They’re so completely outside of anything I’d ever considered before. Never is part Lara Croft, part Sydney Fox, and something else that’s uniquely her own. I suspect it’s this ‘something else’ that lands her in the middle of the events of this book. I was sucked into this story and could only hang on for dear life. This was a book I couldn’t read fast enough; I was desperate to learn what would happen next. Even now that I’ve finished reading it, my brain is turning over the possibilities and anxiously clawing at me to get a hold of book two.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author.
