This passionate saga follows Isis, a woman of little means, coming of age in ancient Egypt after her mother's death. A profound sense of emptiness leads her on a quest to keep some part of her mother alive. Her perilous but insightful journey leads to her involvement as a "sacred virgin" to the Pharaoh Thutmose II, husband of the legendary Hatshepsut where she gets caught up in a sexual indiscretion that results in a fatal betrayal and the birth of the next pharaoh. The novel lifts the veil to the mystery and perils of the netherworld where a difficult navigation is required before reaching "eternal bliss.""
