Lady of the Nile

1550 BCETuya, a high ranking lady-in-waiting at Pharaoh's court, lives a life of luxury, pageantry and boredom. Khian, a brave and honorable officer from the provinces temporarily re-assigned to Thebes, catches her eye at a gold of valor ceremony. As the pair are thrown together by circumstances, she finds herself unaccountably attracted to this man so unlike the haughty nobles she's used to. But a life with Khian would mean leaving the court and giving up all that she's worked so hard to attain. As she goes about her duties, Tuya struggles with her heart's desires. When Tuya is lured into a dangerous part of Thebes by her disgraced half-brother and kidnapped by unknown enemies of Egypt, Khian becomes her only hope. Pharaoh assigns him to bring the lady home. Aided by the gods, Khian races into the desert on the trail of the elusive kidnappers, hoping to find Tuya before it's too late. Neither of them has any idea of the dark forces arrayed against them, nor the obstacles to be faced. An ancient evil from the long gone past wants to claim Tuya for its own purposes and won't relinquish her easily. Can Khian find her in time? Will he and his uncanny allies be able to prevent her death? And if the couple escapes and reaches safety, what of their fledgling romance?
