Septunis is your ordinary village in Lower Egypt. Best friends Nena and Zalika live there, and life is going on just fine. Until Nena discovers that she is a godling and can host the power of a god. Which is bad news, as magic is illegal. On top of that, she also discovers that she is the only one who can restore the balance between Maat and Isfet. This means that she and Zalika travel to the oldest pyramid, and try to do just that.
NOTE: This is a first draft, and a short(ish) story. It is not by any means perfect. I wrote this for a project for school, and decided to put it on here. Any feedback is welcome. This story is set in Ancient Egypt.

The Khepresh of Set (The Khepresh is the blue "war crown" worn by Pharaohs
A dark curse, known only as the Weeping Ash, devours Upper Egypt from the inside out. The Pharaoh's Medjay investigators are certain: only forbidden dark magic could be responsible. To find the source, they need an expert. They need Neith, a young physician from the north, renowned for her knowledge of rare ailments. What they don't know is that Neith's genius is a gift from her true master: Set, the God of Chaos and Storms. She is his last practicing priestess, her power drawn from the very dark magic the Pharaoh has outlawed. Now, Neith must walk a razor's edge. She must solve the mystery of the Weeping Ash while hiding her identity from her new companions-especially the sharp-eyed Captain Heru, who serves the cult of Horus and despises all she represents. But the curse is more than a plague; it is a piece of divine chaos, a weapon that bears the fingerprints of her own merciless god. As her alliances with the pragmatic scout Khensu and the tormented Heru deepen into dangerous attraction, Neith is torn between her loyalty to the master who forged her and the humanity she discovers in their company. To save Egypt, she might have to betray the god she loves, and choose between the path of Loyalty to the man who represents order, or embrace the Chaos that is her destiny. ---

Cursed Times - Only Yesterday! Sequel to Wattys 2015 winner!
By accident rather than design, Trueth - one of the last European witches - finds herself in an ancient Egyptian civilisation. It isn't quite what she has expected - for one thing this place is as full of magic as it is lacking in decent showers. Instead, there is evil lurking just below the surface of the Nile. Together with the friends and family she found in 'Cursed Times - What Now?', Trueth will need to embark on yet another world-saving adventure. One that hopefully does not end in a romantic shipping-wreck. From pyramids, tombs and temples - as well as a palace governed by a randy fourteen-year-old Pharaoh - her journey will ultimately take her to the mists of the North and towards her people. With or without a man at her side. 'Only Yesterday' can be read as standalone adventure novel, or as part of the 'Cursed Times' Series. Warning: In 'Cursed Times - What Now?' all you needed was popcorn. Now you need something stronger - much stronger! === Copyright information, given the recent acts of content piracy: All copyrights of the texts are mine exclusively.

The Illuminated Path
In the ancient city of Morogoro, tradition was law, and law was merciless. Any child born different-disabled, a twin, or out of wedlock-was condemned to the "fire of God," a cruel ritual that smothered innocence in ashes. But when triplets were born, fate refused to bow to fear. Their mother's defiance cost her life, yet hope stirred in the heart of a barren widow who claimed the children as her own. Forced into exile, she carried them across mountains and plains, raising them in secret where kindness, not cruelty, shaped their souls. Amara, gifted with artistry and vision. Kofi, attuned to nature's wisdom. Sefu, fierce in spirit and unyielding in courage. Together, they grew into more than children-they became destiny's answer. When a storm reveals their hidden powers, the triplets find themselves standing between two worlds: one that fears their magic, and one that desperately needs it. Bound by love yet haunted by the shadows of Morogoro, they must decide-will they run from who they are, or rise to become what the ancients once foretold? A tale of sacrifice, resilience, and forbidden power, The Three Triplets weaves African myth and human struggle into an unforgettable epic of survival and hope.Complete
