More than anything, young Sentu wants to learn the new letters of Pharaoh Menes’s court. The acolytes suffer under the tutelage of the High Priest: ritual sacrifices involve more than mere beasts, they involve anyone who stands in Hozat’s way to ultimate power. Though Sentu is at first spared much of the darkest of Hozat’s secrets, he soon realizes he cannot escape the fate of his ka forever.

“Through the accomplished use of dialogue, description and character development, Ms. Atkinson tells us this intriguing story. She is a master at her craft. I was thoroughly invested in Sentu’s story. It was over too soon, but it was rightly told in novella form.”
