Treasures of Egypt

Two unlikely heroes. One grand heist. In the shadows of ancient Egyptian gods and mortals, will they find common ground or risk losing everything?

What would one do for love? What would one do for Egypt?

Desperation drives Nefiri Minu, apprentice to the Grand Vizier, to save her little brother by seeking Khafset, a young thief from the persecuted people of Hyksos. But his price to help heal her sick brother is to steal a divine spear from Ra’s temple.

However, by touching the spear, Nefiri unwittingly unleashes Set, the shackled God of Destruction, and starts a chain of events that threatens to plunge Egypt into chaos. To avert disaster, they are forced to navigate the realm of the gods and the dead, and face off against mythological creatures in a dangerous adventure Khafset insists on calling “The Grand Heist.”

Can this unlikely pair learn to trust each other? Will that trust turn their forced partnership into something more?

On an adventure packed with secrets, hidden agendas, not to mention Gods and monsters, will Nefiri and Khafset succeed in their mission to save Egypt or will the very prejudices that have shaped their world threaten to tear them apart?

Amr Saleh is an Egyptian-German author based in the vibrant city of Munich, Germany (yes, the one with the Oktoberfest). He was born and raised in Cairo, Egypt (the country with the pyramids and mummies, yes), a city teeming with tales of ancient wonders. He has always had a passion for storytelling, and this passion is fuelled by his hobbies, which include writing (of course!), diving into captivating stories in all their forms (including video games - yes, they're art!), traveling, and learning about geography and history.

He truly believes in the power of stories as a unifying force. From the dawn of humanity, we've gathered around the hearth, sharing tales of heroes, villains, and fantastical beings. It's this yearning for a good story that transcends faith, ethnicity, and gender. And it's his dream to take part in this ancient tradition, to keep the flame of the hearth lit with his own tales.
