Reviews / Votes
'a dramatic, thrilling story that I was eager to finish...With a style reminiscent of Philippa Gregory, this book makes the perfect introduction to the 'faction' genre. It would make an excellent choice for group or guided reading while studying ancient Egypt.' School Librarian Journal, vol. 59 no. 2 (Summer 2011)More details
