In Book Two, The Sage, Ahmose continues the archivist's legacy. He makes a promise, which he intends to keep -- but good intensions are one thing and fulfilling the archivist's task is another. It is more difficult than Ahmose could have imagined and key bits of information have gone to the grave -- or have they? In the meantime, Egypt prepares for war. Strife with the Sand-Dwellers to the east threatens stability and even Ahmose and Kai's friendship is put to the test. In the midst of conflict, the archivist's murderer returns and he is looking for revenge. He would like nothing more than to silence Ahmose -- forever.

Book One, The Archivist, begins when the shadow of a dead man is summoned to the world of the living. On the moonlit banks of the Nile he watches as a boy is pursued. He knows the boy, his name is Ahmose, and he knows the fiend who is trying to kill him.... Only a few months earlier Ahmose left his family's farm to attend school in the magnificent temple of Amun in Thebes. Under the watchful eyes of the priests, he visits the House of Life where the injured are cured by magic and he learns from the sacred texts stored in the House of Books. In ancient Egypt the heart is the seat of all thought and emotion, and listening to the texts Ahmose learns that the gods as well as mortals suffer from love, envy and revenge. Step back in time with this new young-adult series. Discover what an archivist was willing to die for and why some still seek it today.

Two years have passed since Ahmose began his scribal studies at the temple of Amun in Thebes. He is now Sage Ani's assistant, and together they travel to Pharaoh's tomb and oversee the correction of a powerful but dangerous text. Despite Ahmose's best intentions, the all-important promise he once made remains unfulfilled. He knows that has to act, but before he can complete the task once given to the archivist, the past returns with a vengeance. With a new conspirator on his side, it seems that the archivist's enemy will indeed achieve his heart's desire. In this last book in The Lost Spells of Egypt series, the destinies of Kai, Baal and beautiful Astarte converge in one gripping, and wholly satisfying finale.
