First published 2013
Atticus and his hound Oberon track a grimoire-stealing Egyptian wizard to the land of the pharaohs. What starts as pursuit of a book thief becomes something far more dangerous when they uncover the true scope of the wizard's scheme. The druid finds himself on the wrong side of Bast, Egypt's vengeful cat goddess, with countless feline followers hunting him through crocodile-infested waters. The wizard who stole his grimoire plans to use Egypt's most lethal deities against him. Atticus must either appease these ancient gods or find a way to defeat them before his quarry succeeds in destroying him. The chase through Egypt becomes a deadly game where divine wrath threatens to overwhelm even a centuries-old druid's power.
