The Empty Sandal — Ann Carter

Lillum returns to Egypt with Kowte, her Nubian servant, determined to find those who poisoned her beloved Jamin. Unfortunately someone powerful in the government wants her captured.

She flees north to Abydos, refusing help from her uncle, the man who had her whipped and enslaved. She thinks she has escaped them all but the gods have set plans in motion, plans she is powerless to resist.

Can she withstand Kemnu's brooding violence? Can she find Jamin's killers and being them to justice? Is nowhere safe from the consequences of naked ambition?
