Throne of Khetara #1
by Michelle Jabès Corpora
A new reign is coming...Romance, magic, adventure, and horror collide in the start to this lush, epic, Ancient Egyptian inspired trilogy perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Sarah J. Maas.
Desire, War, Magic, Monsters...a forgotten oracle will unite them against an ancient enemy. But who will be on the throne when the red dust of Khetara settles?
The Kingdom of Khetara is gift of the River Iteru, the jewel of the desert. Yet a crisis looms on the horizon. The crowns of the north and south were joined through war a generation before, but Khetara remains a land divided. The pharaoh is wasting away from a mysterious illness--and forces in the south and within his own family are plotting against him. As rebellion grows and secrets flourish, an even more deadly threat emerges. An ancient evil awakes among the rolling dunes of the Red Land that threatens to destroy everything in its path.
Four strangers―a princess, a young priestess, a rebel, and a tomb robber―are ripped from their lives and thrown into the conflict. Amid murder and betrayal, magic and monsters, gods and visions, love and war, these four unlikely heroes find themselves connected by a forgotten oracle that whispers insistently across the land. Only together can they save the kingdom from destruction, but when the bloodshed is done, who of Khetara's children will sit on the throne?
"Multiple plot lines converge in a magical world that blends Egyptian mythology with political intrigue and romance via cinematic storytelling. The first in a trilogy, this immersive must-read from Jabès Corpora closes with a cliffhanger that promises further skullduggery and turmoil." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Readers will be fully immersed in the novel's lush, vividly rendered world. An engrossing political fantasy." —Kirkus Reviews
