THE GODS OF EGYPT HAVE SLUMBERED FOR MILLENNIA - RELEGATED TO OBJECTS OF MYTH. THAT’S ALL ABOUT TO CHANGE... Grieving the loss of her child and a life shattering betrayal from the love of her life, Ellie hides herself from the world, determined never to be hurt again. But the long forgotten gods of an ancient land have other plans. Forced into a magical bond with two strangers, Ellie is given a choice. Succumb to the will of the Gods, or die. Now this misfit trio must depend on each other to survive. To earn their freedom from the bond, they must uncover long lost secrets and unlock an ancient prophecy. A prophecy protected by a ruthless and cunning assassins' guild known only as the "Guardians of the Ankh". A prophecy that will change the human world forever. Hunted across the desert plains of Egypt, the trio must stay one step ahead of these merciless, cold-blooded killers who are determined to ensure the potentially cataclysmic prophecy does not come to pass. But something inside Ellie tells her that fulfilling this quest is precisely what humanity needs. Even if it means the trio facing their worst fears, being hunted to the end of the earth, and maybe losing their lives in the process. After all, some things... some people... are worth dying for.

Seals and Sealing in the Ancient World
Author: Marta Ameri
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108173519
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 524
Book Description
Studies of seals and sealing practices have traditionally investigated aspects of social, political, economic, and ideological systems in ancient societies throughout the Old World. Previously, scholarship has focused on description and documentation, chronology and dynastic histories, administrative function, iconography, and style. More recent studies have emphasized context, production and use, and increasingly, identity, gender, and the social lives of seals, their users, and the artisans who produced them. Using several methodological and theoretical perspectives, this volume presents up-to-date research on seals that is comparative in scope and focus. The cross-cultural and interdisciplinary approach advances our understanding of the significance of an important class of material culture of the ancient world. The volume will serve as an essential resource for scholars, students, and others interested in glyptic studies, seal production and use, and sealing practices in the Ancient Near East, Egypt, Ancient South Asia and the Aegean during the 4th-2nd Millennia BCE.
