"I guide those who are worthy of entering the afterlife."
In a whirlwind of history and chaos, 22-year-old Elina Advani's world is about to change forever. Working at her local museum, she's used to the challenges of preserving the past-until the museum faces an unexpected shutdown, leaving its treasures at risk of being lost for good.
In a moment of reckless curiosity, Elina sneaks away a prized artifact from the Egyptian Exhibition. But when she accidentally shatters it, she is thrust into the vibrant, perilous realm of Ancient Egypt.
However, things are far different from what they seem.
Here, the lines between mythology and reality blur, and Elina must navigate a world filled with gods, pharaohs, and ancient secrets. During her time, she meets the infamous God of Mummification and the Afterlife, who she desperately can't take her eyes away from.
As Elina grapples with her new reality, she quickly learns that the myths she once studied are not just stories-they are her new life.

Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong?
***
It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed.
Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out?
Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her?
Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires.
