Full Synopsis
Thirteen years ago, Thoth made a terrible mistake. He helped a human get out of an arranged marriage, and in return, she stole one of his precious books. When dangerous supernatural creatures appear in Alexandria, Thoth knows his book and the bride are to blame.

Kema loves magic. She has a book of it she can't read, but that won't stop her from trying to use it in her fortune telling business. A girl has to make a living after all, and what harm could come from reading a book?

When Thoth finds Kema instead of the dangerous sorcerer he was expecting, he makes her a deal . . . she has to help him capture all the creatures she's set loose in Alexandria. If she refuses, there's a spot in the Duat that Thoth has already picked out for a thief like her.

Kema has a way of wriggling under Thoth's defenses and sparks a fire inside of him. She is dangerous, infuriating, utterly irresistible . . . and he can't get enough of her.

Drawn into the world of gods and magic, Kema joins the hunt for Anubis and discovers that she might have found the family she's always been looking for . . . and that love might not be a con after all.

Contains mature themes.
