Mummification lessons, a new jackal familiar, and temple politics...Ani never expected serving Anubis to be this complicated.
When Ani becomes the first apprentice to be Blessed by Anubis in years, she finds herself thrown into a world she only ever hoped to be part of.
Between learning how to be an embalmer, being the new owner of a sacred jackal, and a budding rivalry turned friendship with the High Priest's son, Ani has her hands full.
But when she uncovers a plot that could bring the temple to its knees, she has to decide whether to risk her place at the temple, or let the injustice slide by unnoticed.
Can she stop the plot before it's too late?

Great start
This is a very good book. One I liked immensely. It just goes to show you some of what could have and did happen in the Egyptian era. I shall definitely being reading more of Ani’s story to see how she develops. Recommended read.
Such a good book
Firstly I need to say I have been obsessed with Ancient Egypt and mummies etc since I was about 7 years old and was so excited to see this book.
I was really impressed with the world that was created and loved it. I loved how things that were historically referenced were correct and the real history was spot on. For someone who loves Egypt this was massively important. I do however have a couple of things that I didn’t like. Most chapters just ended abruptly and the next chapter starts without any real clue what’s going on. The other thing is that most of the characters aren’t really described at all so you don’t know what they look like, making it hard to picture in your head.
However saying that it in no way spoilt this book for me and I’m now reading the 2nd book.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
A great start to a series
This was a fascinating, easy to read and engaging book. I love the juxtaposition of the modern and the ancient together.
The plot is interesting and holds the reader’s attention from start to finish. There are also some unexpected twists and turns which keep the reader on their toes. I liked the way that the characters develop and that readers learn more about who they are as people as the storyline progresses.
I’m really excited to see what happens to Ani as the series progresses.
