"This is a bold, new Egyptian novel, the first new novel in over 5 years, from the bestselling author of The Lords of Two Lands trilogy. When Huy is sent away from his family's farm to a prestigious school for a chance at a better life as a scribe, he is befriended by the family of the local governor. But soon after, an unexpected attack shockingly takes Huy's life. After five days in a crypt being prepared for his own burial, Huy miraculously revives. His return makes him a pariah, and he finds himself haunted by visions of the deaths of those around him."--Publisher.
