The sequel to the instant New York Times bestseller His Face Is the Sun—a sweeping fantasy of prophecy, rebellion, and power set in an epic, ancient Egyptian-inspired world.

A ruthless new pharaoh has claimed the throne of Khetara, ruling with fear as he hunts a missing princess who threatens his reign.

A young priestess who serves the king plots treason. A farm girl leads a rebellion she may not survive. A thief struggles with a dangerous power growing inside him.

As an ancient oracle calls these four unlikely allies together, each must decide how much they are willing to sacrifice—before their fate and future of the kingdom are sealed.
