HARDCOVER
Author: Isabel Ibañez
The Mummy meets Death on the Nile in this lush, romantic, danger-filled historical fantasy set in 19th-century Egypt; the dazzling first book in the Secrets of the Nile duology.
Inez Olivera has grown up among the glittering elite of Buenos Aires, but the one thing she truly wants - her adventurous parents - is always out of reach. When news of their tragic deaths arrives, Inez inherits not only their fortune but also a cryptic golden ring and a mysterious new guardian: an archaeologist with secrets of his own.
Determined to uncover the truth, Inez sails to Egypt, where ancient magic stirs in the sand and shadows. The ring she carries holds power she barely understands, and someone will kill to claim it. Worse yet, she’s forced to work alongside her guardian’s infuriatingly handsome assistant; a rival who seems set on stopping her… or protecting her.
As danger deepens and sparks fly, Inez races to uncover what truly happened to her parents before she becomes the next victim in a deadly game stretching across the desert.
Why this book deserves a spot on your shelf:
- Rivals-to-lovers tension and slow-burn romance
- Egyptian magic, archaeological adventure, and atmospheric mystery
- Perfect for fans of The Mummy, A Magic Steeped in Poison, and These Violent Delights
