Ancient Egypt. Two boys grow up together in the shadow of the throne. Tuthmos is the son of a powerful noble family. Nef is the heir to Egypt. Their friendship begins in childhood, when the world is still small enough to be measured in lessons, games, festivals, and shared secrets. But they are growing up in a world where blood, duty, faith, and power matter more than friendship.As childhood fades, Tuthmos and Nef will have to discover what loyalty truly means — and how much it can cost. An epic historical fantasy about two boys, one throne, and a friendship caught between family, duty, and power.
