The Bone-Setter's Daughter

Blood-magic was once as much a part of Egypt as the sands or the Nile, but no longer. Magic is weak, now, an echo of what it once was. The pharaohs have married brother to sister to preserve their abilities, but all it has done is corrupted them, and made them even weaker.

Mayet is the daughter of a physician, whose only dream is to become a bone-setter like her father. However, the discovery that she possesses the deep blood-magic of the Star-Dwellers puts her life, and that of her father's, in danger. Forced to flee Egypt, Mayet and her father rebuild their lives amongst The People of the Green Sea.

Unfortunately, they soon find that the sandstorms of Egypt are not so easily evaded.
