But underneath the glamour, she feels nothing. Every day is a quiet war against a growing emptiness. "They say desire is the root of all suffering, so why does it hurt more to have no desire to live at all?" That is, until one evening at a bar, she meets a mysterious man named Osiris, who offers her a strange pendant, and an even stranger deal: a second chance at life. But there's one condition. She must save Ancient Egypt from the infamous seven years of famine. Thrown into a new world she doesn't understand, Muna is forced to survive without everything she once used to define herself. Will she embrace this new life, discover who she really is, and find the strength to change not only Egypt's fate, but her own?
