Verdict: What would one do for love? What would one do for Egypt? Desperation drives Nefiri Minu, apprentice to the Grand Vizier, to save her little brother by seeking Khafset, a young thief from the persecuted people of Hyksos. But his price to help heal her sick brother is to steal a divine spear from Ra’s temple.
However, by touching the spear, Nefiri unwittingly unleashes Set, the shackled God of Destruction, and starts a chain of events that threatens to plunge Egypt into chaos. To avert disaster, they are forced to navigate the realm of the gods and the dead, and face off against mythological creatures in a dangerous adventure Khafset insists on calling “The Grand Heist.”

On an adventure packed with secrets, hidden agendas, not to mention Gods and monsters, will Nefiri and Khafset succeed in their mission to save Egypt or will the very prejudices that have shaped their world threaten to tear them apart?
In what is one of the best novels of this genre, within this setting, that I have had the pleasure to read in the past two decades or so, Treasures of Egypt: The Spear & the Scythe from author Amr Saleh is also, and by far, probably one of the most competently written, dutiful to its culture, and informatively historical prose that has been put on paper; I would humbly suggest.
I mean, if you love all-things Ancient Egypt, mystical and magical, and Egyptian mythology toboot, well, this is the new, must-have novel for you, my friends. The research undertaken for this book is highly extensive, and shows throughout each and every chapter, we go deeper and deeper into the characters and the whole arc of mythology.
Chock full of adventure, drama, even some romance, and a solid amount of mesmerizing mystery, there have been oh-so many books written about the Greek gods and goddesses, so it is rather refreshing to have this tale brought forth of Egyptian ones.
Buy this novel today and willingly submerse yourself into the world of Nef[iri] and Khaf[set], get introduced to gods such as Ra, Isis and Set, whilst at all times allowing the bigger, slowly revealing message from Pharoah Hatshepsut of understanding and judgement to not only present itself, but to be welcomed within you also, come the final page.
