War split the globe straight down the middle; technological advancement blossomed in the west while the east fought desperately to turn back the clock, erasing all "foreign" remnants. After centuries of bloodshed, a treaty brought both halves to stagnant isolation. Now, in the year of 2510, trouble toils in the heart of Egypt. Especially for its princess. Perfect and obedient daughter of royalty by day, heartless assassin by night, Princess Rayna of Sphinx Nation never intended for her life to become anymore complicated than it already is. She has plenty piled onto her plate to begin with. Political tension bubbling like a witch's cauldron, maintaining Sphinx Nation's power as figurehead of Egypt, and doing it all while living under the ruthless watch of her mother Queen Sekhmet. And now, some street rat named Kazue waltzes into her life, believing her to be his Guardian Spirit. His protector. Above all else, his best friend. Rayna is far from pleased with this development but the longer Kazue is under her care, the more mysteries form around him. Even worse, the uprising of Sphinx's rival province, Isis Nation, threatens to flip her world upside down. *** "The Chaos Awards 8" - First Place Winner | Action "LY Awards 2020" - First Place Winner | Action "LY Awards 2020" - First Place Winner | Best Title "LY Awards 2020" - Third Place Winner | Best Cover "The Spring Awards 2020" - Second Place Winner | Action *** Credit for the lovely cover goes to @Enchantinglypeachy
