It was common for children of the Egyptian gods to die--- not that Heba Badran knew that.
On her sweet-sixteen, Heba's demigod-blood gets her killed and she's transported to the underworld.
Her heart is weighed to determine if she's a threat to mortals and gods... but the scales indicate she's wavering between damnation and salvation.
Heba's sent to a limbo halfway house to balance between chaos and order, or face Ammit's Second Death.
But between the lines of the afterlife there are horrors that feed off pain, and soon a monster, known as a heart-eater, invades the halfway house to claim her broken heart.
With a 'lucky-cat' daughter of Bastet, a shy son of Ra, and a socially brain-dead son of Set at her side, Heba must learn to protect herself and find her way home.
But can she balance her soul with the Egyptian feather of Ma'at (truth and order) before she is consumed by the power under her skin?

Ancilla's Awards and Reviews
BEHOLD MY BRAG BOOK This is a portfolio of awards and reviews that Ancilla and its art have received, both on Wattpad and in the real world, due to being entered in real-world contests in addition to those on Wattpad. (I self-published Ancilla commercially about a month before I published an edition of it on Wattpad). Ancilla's rate of winning contests on Wattpad, according to Google's calculator, is about one contest in three - one in two if I only look at the contests that did not fizzle out before completing. Real-world contest win rate: zero. For general wins and losses, refer to my 2024 and 2025 Books of Contests. This portfolio displays reviews, score sheets, comments, press releases, and interviews. Nearly all the material contained herein is glowing and positive (of course) but I have also tucked in some negative material and contest fails, including a downright withering review from some guy at IndieReader. Dear reader, I hope you find this entertaining. If you are an independent pro author like me, I hope you also find it useful for your journey to success.

He has this remarkable talent for screwing everything up for me, even my first car. And yet-sometimes-I wonder. Is he all bad? I mean, he did get me my first boyfriend. Even if that was by completely embarrassing me and destroying a wall. The more I work with the horse from Hell, the more I start to think that Even Demons Have Their Moments.Complete
