It was common for children of the Egyptian gods to die--- not that Heba Badran knew that.
On her sweet-sixteen, Heba's god-blood gets her killed and she's transported to the underworld.
Her heart is weighed to determine if she's a threat to mortals and gods... but the scales indicate she's wavering between damnation and salvation.
Heba's sent to a limbo halfway house to balance between chaos and order, or face Ammit's Second Death.
But between the lines of the afterlife there are horrors that feed off pain, and soon a monster, known as a heart-eater, invades the halfway house to claim her broken heart.
With a 'lucky-cat' daughter of Bastet, a shy son of Ra, and a socially brain-dead son of Set at her side, Heba must learn to protect herself and find her way home.
But can she balance her soul with the Egyptian feather of Ma'at (truth and order) before she is consumed by the power under her skin?
