La sombra del loto negro

The embalmer Imet has sworn before the gods to exact revenge. To this end, she will travel to Waset, City of a Hundred Gates and capital of Ta-Mri, determined to infiltrate the court of Pharaoh Nekht-en-sen. But the secrets hidden in the heart of the Nile will not only shake the foundations of an empire. The land rots, plagues arrive, and the water harbors unspeakable horrors. And the key to everything seems to lie beyond the land of the living, in the depths of the Underworld. This award-winning title tells an epic and dark mythological fantasy story set in a reimagined Egypt, where a disgraced priestess of the goddess Isis infiltrates the heart of the empire to avenge the dead... and defy the gods. It is a story of downfall, rage, and redemption in a world where gods walk among men, the dead emerge from the river... and a woman with nothing to lose decides to change the fate of the world with her own hands.
