2021-22 Finalist for Hackmatack Children's Choice Book Award, MYRCA
Sundogs and, Red Cedar Book Awards Sesha must race to find a
priceless scroll before time runs out. After a brutal fire takes
their parents' lives, Sesha and Ky, children of the pharaoh's royal
physician, are left charming snakes and stealing food to survive.
Unsure of who to trust, the pair are found and brought back to the
palace, where the pharaoh tasks Sesha with finding a rare medical
document her father was transcribing. But are the royals hiding
something? Befriended by a fellow scribe and a young princess,
Sesha navigates palace intrigue and temple treachery while urgently
seeking the valuable papyrus. For the scroll doesn't just have the
power to keep the pharaoh's army alive and reveal the secrets
around her parents' death - it may be the only thing that can save
Ky's life.
Ancient Egyptian healer and scribe Sesha is ready for another role:
spy. Be sure to read Sesha's first adventure, The Lost Scroll of
the Physician. Forced to flee Thebes or face death, Sesha and her
friends, Paser and Reb, travel up the Nile and into the desert in
search of a hidden oasis. Led by a freed spy, they plan to rescue
Pharaoh's daughter Princess Merat, given to a Hyksos chieftain
against her will. Before they can get there, though, they have to
battle lurking crocodiles, endless dunes, and blinding sandstorms.
When the group finally straggles into the Hyksos camp, they find
the rebels preparing for combat. But as Sesha and her friends spend
time with the rival tribe, the lines in the sand begin to blur.
When she takes on a dangerous secret mission and learns about a
prophecy that could change the course of history, Sesha has to
decide where her future - and the real danger - lies.
