Four years passed since the battle of the Prison of Light. The men
of the dark lands endure meagre existence, while others in their
protected utopia prosper. When Dr. Mary Wilson and the Prince of
Shadows start having the same terrible nightmares, the Goddess
Neith labours to discover their meaning. But her actions
unwittingly release an ancient protector, one she may not be
powerful enough to defeat alone. Mary must rely on her skill as an
archaeologist, as both sides work together to discover the location
of the hidden Tomb of Horus. Within, they must unlock the secret
Songs of the Osirian, and convince the Jackal King to awake from
his eternal slumber. Foreword by Michael Jan Friedman New York
Times bestselling author
From the award winning author of Sir Laurence Dies comes this epic
fantasy tale, the 3rd book in his Osirian series. The Songs of the
Osirian fall silent. At the twilight of Ra's rule, he sent his
daughter, Sekhmet, to punish mankind. But her blood-lust became
uncontrollable. The Osirian pleaded with Ra to stop her. He filled
the Nile River with beer mixed in pomegranate juice. Sekhmet,
mistaking it for blood, drank it all. Tricked and drunk, she
recognised too late the betrayal. So, Sekhmet gave up the slaughter
and in grief, Ra locked her in the void, never to return. But now,
Ra is gone. The Osirian defending mankind dwindle, their power
fading. As Sam and Akhet work to unravel the Dark Lord Beast's
plan, it leads them to Sekhmet. The forces of light must fight to
stop her from rising again, or the balance of power may shift to
Beast's unearthly hands...

prosperity to mankind. But when an ancient evil awoke and corrupted
the world, the Osirian swapped books for swords and led Man to war.
Victory came at a price. The aftermath created disillusioned men
and woman who angrily rejected their teachers, and in grief the
Osirian disappeared. Their knowledge and wisdom lost to history.
But they were all betrayed. The evil remained ...Three-thousand
years later, archaeologist Mary Wilson unwittingly assists its
resurgence. But this time, the Songs of the Osirian are silent.
Bonus short story "The Last of Us" by Rob James is included at the

Sir Laurence Dies is a murder mystery in the Agatha Christie style.
It's a whodunit A story of intrigue, guile and red herrings, half a
dozen suspects, and a murder to boot. Just what is the morose
butler, Dawson, hiding behind that stone faced reserve? Why does
Lady Agatha Smythe carry around an old photograph of her younger
days, and what exactly is her relationship to Major John Heskith?
Is Milly Gregson the meek girl she seems to be, and is Desmond
DuPont's interest in her more than simply platonic? Is the debonair
Doctor Jacob Powell the lady's man that local gossip suggests? It
was never going to be an easy task to put this puzzle together when
they don't have all the pieces, or any idea what the picture might
be. However that's exactly what Doctor Straay and Chief Inspector
Drake must do, if they intend to find the murderer of Sir Laurence
Gregson; but can they work together to solve this murder, or will
their antithetical differences on psychology and police work stop
them before they even start...?
