The Wrath of Sekhmet

The Tales of Zahra, Book 2

The Wrath of Sekhmet

Genre: 

A Young Adult Fantasy Adventure

Rating: 

PG

In ancient Egypt, some secrets are better left buried.

Newly freed from servitude, Zahra ventures to Egypt hoping to discover the fate of her missing mother. Her only clue is a golden hairpin bearing the Eye of Horus, a symbol that leads her to a hidden society operating in the shadows of the towering pyramids.

Zahra’s personal quest becomes far more dire when an ancient artifact responds to her touch, unleashing a curse that will revive the bloodthirsty goddess Sekhmet at the setting of the sun.

Now, Zahra and her newfound companions—street-wise Rafi, enigmatic jinni Nadim, and sheltered Prince Amir—must brave deadly traps, solve baffling riddles, and face nightmarish demons to save Egypt from Sekhmet’s vengeance.

Masterfully blending Egyptian mythology with pulse-pounding adventure, The Wrath of Sekhmet draws readers back into the captivating world of The Tales of Zahra, where powerful magic and courageous hearts collide, and where the bonds of friendship are tested against powers as old as Egypt itself.

It's like Tomb Raider meets The Mummy.
