An Instant New York Times Bestseller!

A dying throne. A dark prophecy. Four strangers whose destiny will determine the fate of the kingdom.

In the golden heat of Khetara, rebellion smolders and ancient gods stir. As whispers of the pharaoh's illness spread, a long-forgotten oracle begins to awaken--binding a princess, a priestess, a rebel, and a thief to the fate of an empire.

His Face Is the Sun is the start of a sweeping YA fantasy trilogy inspired by Ancient Egypt. Perfect for readers who devour the lush worlds of Leigh Bardugo, the mythic depth of Roshani Chokshi, and the high-stakes emotion of Sabaa Tahir.

The kingdom is cracking, and four lives are about to collide:

Sita, a princess who uncovers a betrayal powerful enough to destroy the royal court.

Neff, a young priestess burdened by divine visions that predict devastating destruction.

Rae, a farmer's daughter sharpened by injustice and poised to tear down her oppressors.

Karim, a tomb robber whose discovery in the desert awakens an ancient enemy.

Drawn together by unseen forces, these chosen four must decide what they're willing to sacrifice when power demands blood.
