When Aya, a sixteen-year-old Egyptian girl, communicates with Ma'at, ancient Egyptian goddess of justice and truth, she opens the doors to an alternate reality where history and current events are not at all what they seem and ancient myths turn out to be more than just enigmatic legends.
Ma'at is not the only Neteru around. The Neteru, an ancient pre-human race believed to be deities by their contemporaries, are an eclectic bunch. Some are good, some are bad, and some are just plain silly.
But now, some are roaming our world under the guise of --well, only Aya can tell you that.
Join Aya and her band of unlikely allies on a quest that will take you through the Ka river beaming with life energy, under the tunnels of the Sphinx and through ancient Egyptian sacred sites.
