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.

The Mummy (Imhotep x (OC)/Reader)
This is going to be based 1990's 'The Mummy'. However, since I love Egypt and the movie so much I was going to try to make my own X reader type book. I always had the tendency to feel bad for the villains, but I don't think Imhotep was really a bad guy. It's just he had a lot of hatred and vengeance for those who cursed him for loving someone after she killed herself. So due to this I'm going to change the story just a tad, and have a more happy ending. I am also naming her after Seti the first real daughter named Tia. I do not own any of the characters besides my Oc Akila/Tia. Akila Carnahan, is the half-sister of Evelyn and Jonathan. Her brother and sister are half Egyptian while Akila was fully Egyptian. She worked with her sister at the Museum of Antiquities in Cario, Egypt. After she and her siblings found the key and the map to Hamunaptra they went to see a man named Rick O'Connell.

What will happen when her sister Evelyn accidentally revives Imhotep from the dead with the book? Will she remember her love with the High Priest? Will she help send him back to his holy resting place or will she be the one to keep balance between them all?Complete
