Iset is juggling a gang of tomb robbers, a younger brother, a sick mother, and a multitude of secrets that could ruin the lives of her close-knit family. Just as she learns her life is in danger, she runs straight into the most unusual man she's ever seen. Can she trust him to help her, or will he hasten her demise?
Batr, one of the queen's Royal Guard, is determined to find the men behind the desecration of a nobleman's tomb. But when he's drawn into a web of mystery, he finds Iset at the centre of it all. And she's the most intriguing woman he's ever met.
Meanwhile, in the court of Abdju:
When Raia learns her father's tomb has been robbed, she resolves to see the perpetrators punished. Aided by Makae, Batr's twin brother, they uncover a series of confidences that force Raia to question everything she's ever known.
Follow the two couples through the painted tombs of the Land of the Dead and into the treacherous world of ancient nobility as they seek a gang of dangerous thieves who threaten the peace of both the living and the dead.

A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written Egyptian Historical Romance book. It wasn’t always very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish, but never a dull moment. There were several grammar/typo errors, but no repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a huge set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great Egyptian Historical Romance movie, animated cartoon, or a mini TV series. A very easy rating of 5 stars.
Thank you for the free Goodreads; Making Connections; Author; ARC; PDF book

I was lucky enough to be able to both Beta Read this book and read the final copy. The characters are very easy to fall in love with, at the end of the book I found myself terribly sad that I had to say goodbye to them. The world that Danielle LeBlanc built within the pages of her book is one I can't wait to visit again. I love that she had the love interest be a twin, it created several unforeseen twists and turns. Her female lead was a strong woman who not only took care of herself she took care of those around her. If you are a fan of romance, mystery and Ancient Egypt you will love this book. I know I did!
