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 -

19 parts Complete Mature
For a millenia man thrived under the gods Egypt. Osiris proved to be a capable and wise ruler. His wife Isis taught man man things and gave them tools to succeed. Nephthys taught them how to prepare the dead, and how to prepare for the afterlife. Yet Set grew greedy. He wanted more power. He wanted his brother's throne. He wanted to rule all of Egypt himself. Have the power for himself. Nephthys, now pregnant, began to fear her husband. He was not the same as when they were married. And so she escaped Thinis and travelled to Memphis to claim sanctuary with her brother and sister. There she gave birth to Anubis. The jackal headed god of death took up his position and began to ferry the dead souls through the underworld. Isis foretold the coming war with Set. But Osiris, always trusting of his brother, did not see the danger. And so invited him to the announcement of Isis' pregnancy. It was there that Set killed his brother. Nephthys and Isis escaped Memphis under the cover of darkness, and took refuge with their loyal followers. There, Isis gave birth to her son Horus. The hawk god, Isis prayed to her grandfather for guidance. As Horus grew older, Set's grip on power strengthened. Fear ruled the young Egypt. But those both god and man were still loyal to Horus and his mother helped plan revenge. Horus, now a man. And his trusted human servant Ahmose battled Set. This carnage saw the sacred Nile run red with blood. Hearing the cries of man. Amun Ra travelled from his sacred ship and commanded all gods to return to the afterlife and fight their battles there.
