Description

Set against the glittering backdrop of ancient Egypt, this tale weaves history and myth into a vivid romance. When young queen Neter‑Tua faces a forced union with a murderous uncle, an ancient part of herself—the powerful Ka—steps in to guide her fate. The narrative balances political intrigue with the mystic allure of waxen images and secret spells that once threatened pharaohs.

As court conspiracies thicken, Neter‑Tua embarks on a daring quest to outwit the sorcerers who would bind her destiny, discovering love and loyalty in unexpected places. The story captures the texture of Egyptian belief, from the reverence of the Ka to the elaborate rituals of royalty, while inviting listeners to experience the timeless struggle between duty and the heart.
