SANDS OF TIME

our love will outlast time,
it will make the sands stop falling

TRAPPED IN A TIMELESS PRISON AWAY FROM THE LAND OF MAN IS WHERE THE GODS OF OLD RESIDE. They sit up upon their gilded thrones, watching over the world as it passes them by, but not interfering in matters like they used to millennia ago. The Gods of Old were just that, old. They were obsolete, not needed and therefore abandoned to the mercy of time.

Sekhmet (the Warrior Goddess of Healing, Chaos and Plague who is usually depicted with a lioness for a head) was getting fed up with her simple life in the Heavens. She missed the world below, full of people and buzzing with life. She missed watching first hand as humans evolved and their knowledge of the Universe developed. And she missed the feeling of adventure, of exploring the unknown.

So Sekhmet left the safety of the Heavens to walk amongst man once again.

Times had certainly changed since the last time she had set foot in the mortal world: people now flew around in the sky, weapons made of metal could kill others with small, weirdly-shaped arrowheads (which she later found out to be called bullets) and there was no longer a Pharaoh to rule over a combined Egypt. It both terrified and excited the Goddess; there was so much to see and explore but there were also brand new dangers, especially for a woman with her power.

Luckily Sekhmet was first found by the Medjai — a secret order of warriors devoted to preventing the rise of evil — who then placed her under the protection of Dr Terrence Bey. Although sometimes she felt as restricted as she did in the Heavens, Sekhmet enjoyed living with Dr Bey, he was kind and spoke to her as an equal rather than an higher being (which she preferred); he also allowed her to work alongside him at the Cairo Museum of Antiquities where she felt at home amongst the ancient artefacts of her time.

But obviously she couldn't go around telling people her name was Sekhmet, that would just put her more at risk, so she changed it to Cleo Ayad and that was the name she used when she introduced herself to Evie Carnahan, a young woman who would later become her best friend.

Over time the friendship between the Carnahan and the Goddess blossomed, they trusted each other with everything. Well, almost everything.

And when the eldest of the Carnahan siblings returned with a map to the legendary Hamanaptra, they couldn't seem to let it go despite the warnings of Dr Bey and herself. But Sekhmet knew that she couldn't let her friends go alone and walk into something they had no clue about, so she decided to join them on their quest to the cursed City of the Dead, knowing how much she would regret it later on.

With secrets threatening to come out, an ancient resurrected mummy on the loose and a man who makes her heart flutter, Sekhmet must quickly try and fix the mess they have created or else their chances of escaping it all alive will slip through their fingers as easily as the sands of time.

AUTHOR'S NOTE —
So, I caved. After watching The Mummy I started to write a plot in my plot shop for it but I fell in love and decided to write it. I'm so excited for this book and I can't wait to write it, I just know this is going to be a fun one. Also, if you've read any of my other books you will have noticed that the layout of this one is slightly different, that's because I'm trying it out at the moment to see if I like it.

Thank you for clicking on this book and I hope you enjoy reading 'Sands of Time'.
