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.
"In her search for answers, Sesha must find a priceless scroll for the pharaoh. Sesha and Ky, children of the pharaoh's royal physician, are left charming snakes and stealing food to survive after a brutal fire takes their parents and their home. Unsure of whom to trust, the pair are found and brought back to the palace, despite misgivings that the royals are somehow involved in their parents' deaths. Sesha is tasked with finding the rare and valuable medical document her father was transcribing for the pharaoh, who needs it urgently for his upcoming campaign. Befriended by another scribe and a young princess, Sesha must navigate palace intrigue and temple treachery while desperately seeking the priceless papyrus. For not only does the scroll have the power to reveal the circumstances around Sesha's parents̵ death and mitigate any casualties of battle, it may also be the only thing that can save her brother's life."-- Provided by publisher.
