| Publisher Description: 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. |
