Can an unlikely quartet of heroes sent back to ancient Egypt save humanity from a seemingly unstoppable evil?
It was just a typical day for third-year university student Edith Orozco as she boarded her train home, but her world is unexpectedly thrown into chaos as she finds herself thrust into a time traveling adventure to save humanity from a seemingly unstoppable evil.
With the help of her niece, Moli, and two strangers, James and Kiza, the group must travel through time to collect nine wonders from history in just nine days. Only then can they hope to save the world from Pandorai, a murderous AI bent on destruction, along with its two maniacal henchmen: resurrected Adolf Hitler and Dr Shiro Ishii.
Tasked with collecting their first wonder, The Book of the Living, the unlikely quartet of heroes are transported back in time to Ancient Egypt, where they must travel to the Tomb of King Unas. But the clock is ticking, with only 24 hours to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles to reach their destination.
Can Edith guide the group and encourage them to work together as they encounter treacherous slave merchants, frightening prehistoric dinosaurs, and mischievous ancient gods? Or will the evil Trio beat them to their prize and bring the world one step closer to mayhem and destruction?
What critics and readers have to say
"Four young people face an uphill struggle in saving the world against the forces of evil in this whimsical fantasy. The dozen or so pages of notes and references testify to the density of the prose." - Kirkus Reviews
"A well-written and intriguing fantasy and a highly literate puzzle of a book that weaves the threads of ancient and modern history into a time-traveling tapestry of conspiracy theories and old fashioned adventure." - IndieReader
"Shawe Ruckus has created a magnificent world full of otherworldly creatures and futuristic technology, resulting in a uniquely engaging setting where you are completely immersed." - Readers’ Favorite
"An epic tale of adventure, magic, and danger. What truly sets this book apart is its strong and inspiring female protagonist." - Amazon
"Combines excellent elements of fantasy and sci-fi, brilliantly woven throughout the course of a fascinating story that will keep readers hooked until the end." - Amazon
"Definitely a must-read for fantasy and adventure lovers." - Goodreads
