Born of two worlds but owned by none, Bahotep’s life as a simple peasant is shattered when raiders leave his family in ruins and drag him into the blistering heart of the Sahara. Sold into the service of Master Amut—a merchant who cloaks his cruelty in the guise of divinity—Bahotep is thrust into a nightmare of servitude and ancient shadows. But the desert hides more than just bones. As Bahotep navigates a landscape of deceptive gods and hidden slave markets, he discovers a mystical stone of Creation that defies the laws of the living. His journey will take him from the majestic temples of Memphis to the legendary Hanging Gardens of Babylon, pushing him beyond the limits of the human soul. Along the way, he must confront dangerous entities of land and sea, learn the language of the wild, and choose between the safety of chains and the perilous cost of free will. In a world where men and gods alike seek to control his fate, Bahotep must find the strength to rewrite his own story before the poison of his past catches up to him. Experience an epic tale of survival, redemption, and a love that transcends the boundaries of life and death.
