Olivia Walsh finds herself in the discovery of a lifetime in the land of pharaohs. A new tomb has been found and Olivia is part of the team to cross-reference the hidden secrets inside. Like many, she has been fascinated by the ancient civilisation since she was a child but she would do more than just contribute to the history of the golden ancient world; she would be swallowed up by it. Surrounded by schemes, war and conspiracies, she must rely on her wits and knowledge of the ancient world or be lost to it. Just as she might, if she is not careful, to the enthraling of a king.

The king is dead and so too is his eldest son. Egypt is on the brink of war and the last free fraction of the nation is facing annihilation. Akil-Heru is at the forefront of the battle, determined to free the country from the yoke of foreign rule. But he cannot do it alone and there are fewer people he can truly trust to aid him than he can count the fingers of his hand. It is victory or damnation facing him and the gods are silent. If that wasn't enough, he must struggle with his own inner demons especially in regards to a woman so pale she seemingly glows like the sun. Spurring a desire that could cost him everything.

House of Amarna by laurenvictoriakand
22 parts Ongoing
Zaira Zobell is an eighteen-year-old dolphin trainer at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. She is beautiful and happy, she is enjoying the best summer she can have before starting college, and she has a lovely boyfriend and an amazing group of friends. She has an entire life in front of her that she can't wait for. Just not in this world. During a boat trip to Lake Lanier, a place that many people consider haunted, she vanishes under the surface in front of the astonished and desperate eyes of her friends. Only to re-emerge minutes later in Ancient Egypt during what looks like a religious ceremony in a temple in front of the Pharaohs. It has been the High Priest of Hathor to summon her back in time as she might be the reincarnation of the goddess Isis. Egypt's order has been turned upside down by Akhenaten and Nefertiti: they have canceled the cult of the many gods and now they only venerate one, Aten. Whoever is against it, is crushed. People live in fear and the beautiful and peaceful country it used to be, is only a distant memory. As the story progresses, however, Zaira will have to fight hard to survive the schemes and plots Nefertiti plans against her and the evil intrigues of the imperial court. She is in a world she doesn't know, crueler and wilder, where everything has a price. And nobody can be trusted. But what is war without love? Zaira will find herself contended between two people she really has grown fond of and cares about a lot: the god Horus, in his human form to fight his uncle within the humans, and Hando, the prince and heir to the throne, son of the kind second royal wife Hadia. The clock for her time in Amarna though, has started ticking the moment she appeared in the temple. Does she have to go back? Or will she be able to give up reality and forever live in her imagination? - Next chapters drop on December 1st -

Her sudden assassination at the hands of the evil Consortium threatens the future of humankind. The fate of the world now rests on the shoulders of her grandson, Ryan. Only one problem. He doesn't even know she exists, anything about her remarkable powers or the enormous responsibilities that he will be asked to assume upon her death. Up until that moment, Ryan's greatest concern had been staying alive in Sullivan State Prison where he is serving a two year sentence for felony assault of a police officer. For the dedicated Servants of Ma'at, breaking their new Pharaoh out of jail is the very least of their problems. Will he accept his destiny? Can he stop the virus in time? A reluctant warrior against an evil Consortium bent on global domination at any price.
