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.”
Can this unlikely pair learn to trust each other? Will that trust turn their forced partnership into something more?
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?

This book is a beautiful combination of Magic and Mythology. Every chapter was enticing, each with new challenges and new characters. As someone who loves learning about ancient Egypt and its mythology, I immediately had to read this. Saleh perfectly introduces the gods and high officials so that it’s not overwhelming for the reader to take in. Everything is very well explained; we are told who each god is, how they relate to each other, and some of the actions that have gotten them to where they are. All the gods and goddesses were portrayed perfectly, I loved meeting each one throughout the book's journey. ~ Megan Octavia (Reviewer) , Netgalley
