In the tumultuous backdrop of 44 BCE, as Cleopatra VII and Julius Caesar solidify their controversial alliance, a growing resistance begins to brew among the citizens of Alexandria. While Cleopatra aims to reclaim her throne and Caesar seeks to expand Roman influence, the consequences of their ambitions ripple through the streets, leaving the once-thriving city divided and impoverished. A group of disgruntled medjays, helped by the discreet explorer Ahmose, witness the suffering of their people-families torn apart by taxation, resources siphoned off to support Caesar's military campaigns, and the destabilization of local governance. With whispers of discontent growing louder, Ahmose's spy profile is put to use. 
A daring plan to expose the true cost of Cleopatra and Caesar's alliance is hatched, aiming to rally the people against their leaders, ignite a rebellion, and restore the dignity and independence of Egypt before it is irrevocably drawn into Rome's grasp. 
For the clever protagonist, this new social movement was going exactly like she wanted. Until that night, this mistake. He was here. Aretas.

As tensions rise and the sands of time slip away, the stakes become perilously high, challenging not only their resolve but the very fate of their beloved homeland.

WARNING: This is a work of fiction. Any names, characters, businesses, places, events and incidents are all fictitious and only existing in the author's mind. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead is purely coincidental. Anathalia Lavimoure had it all-fame, fortune, and a face plastered across billboards and movie screens. But behind the glamorous facade was a self-absorbed, sharp-tongued diva who was used to getting her way and never hearing the word no. As one of the most controversial figures in the industry, she'd made enemies in every corner-enemies who didn't just gossip behind her back, but were now actively hunting her down. Forced out of her luxurious life and into a nightmare she never imagined, Anathalia was suddenly on the run, desperate and terrified, with nowhere to hide and no one left to trust. Once a man with a future, Elias had been wrongfully convicted and left to rot in a prison cell for a crime he didn't commit. By the time he got out, the world had forgotten him-and he wanted nothing to do with it anyway. Hardened by betrayal and injustice, Elias had built walls no one could climb and trusted no one but himself. He had no interest in heroes or saving anyone. And yet, when fate threw a panicked, designer-heeled Anathalia into his path, running for her life, he didn't walk away. Maybe it was the fear in her eyes. Maybe it was the way her bravado crumbled in the face of real danger. Or maybe, deep down, Elias just couldn't turn his back on someone who felt what he had once felt-helpless, cornered, and utterly alone. Now bound by necessity and danger, the spoiled starlet and the bitter ex-con must rely on each other to survive. But as bullets fly and secrets unravel, the line between protection and connection begins to blur-and neither of them is ready for what that might mean.
