In the heart of ancient Egypt, Neferu, a high priestess of Thoth, is chosen for a sacred and perilous destiny-to bear a child that will bridge the realms of gods and mortals.
Amidst political intrigue and divine unrest, Neferu must navigate a world where her every move is watched, her every decision critical. Her path is fraught with danger, as rival factions and the gods themselves challenge her at every turn.
Aset, a powerful priestess shrouded in mystery, and Thoth, the god of wisdom, each hold a key to Neferu's fate. But they are not just her guides; they have their own stakes in the unfolding events, their own secrets, and ambitions that could tip the balance of power in unforeseen ways.
"The Priestess" is a tale of divine intrigue, political conflict, and a woman's unwavering resolve as she stands between two worlds, destined to shape the fate of all.

But beneath the skin, shadows stir, binding him to a bloodline older than memory itself: the legacy of the Owl. When a fight for his life awakens powers he can't control, Tez is thrust into a hidden war between gods, guardians, and ancient betrayals that still bleed into the present. His best friend Yoshi carries the spirit of a long-lost protector. Chanté, the girl caught between love and a darker force, holds a key even she doesn't understand. And hovering over them all is Awu-the Godkiller, banished warrior of the heavens, whose voice hammers at Tez's soul from the void: "Rise, or be prey." Every battle forces Tez closer to the truth-that strength isn't just fists and fury. It's loyalty. It's love. It's choosing to stand even when fear roots you to the ground. But claiming that truth means facing gods, monsters, and himself... and if he falters, the world will drown in shadows. Black Owl is a blend of myth and modern grit, where ancient Egypt collides with today's streets, and a boy with everything to lose must decide if he's worthy of becoming a predator-or destined to remain prey.
