Whispers Beneath the Sand

When sixteen-year-old Nailah Saleh arrives in Egypt for what's meant to be a quiet family holiday, she expects sand, sunshine, and her father's endless lectures about ancient ruins. What she doesn't expect are the dreams - deserts bathed in gold light, voices calling her by a name she's never heard, and a shadowed figure who seems to know her heart.

Her brothers, Yusuf and Rami, brush it off as imagination. Yusuf, the eldest, is studying archaeology and believes every mystery has logic. Rami, sharp and skeptical, thinks it's just Egypt getting under her skin. But when Nailah touches a broken scarab amulet in the Cairo Museum and it reacts to her, strange things begin to follow - footsteps in the dark, sand appearing where there shouldn't be any, and an ancient mark glowing faintly on her wrist.

The siblings uncover a forgotten map leading deep into the desert - to a tomb that doesn't exist in any record. As they follow its trail, whispers of an ancient dynasty begin to echo through their lives. Their family's past is tangled with a Pharaoh erased from history, a curse that never died, and a prophecy about "the daughter of the sun and moon" who will awaken what was meant to stay buried.

As the sands shift around them, the three siblings must face the truth: some secrets were buried for a reason. And the desert never forgets.
