Casandra believes that magic is for desperate people who gave up on their
chances of victory. The world is a harsh place where people abuse one another and you must have a thick skin to make it. Forgiveness is not on her list of attributes.
While on a trip to Alexandria with her archeologist father, she discovers an ancient crown which changes everything. The crown opens her eyes to a world of the dead, where dwells a young man who sets her world into a spiral. He shows her that many of her assumptions about her place in life, her ideas of reality, and most importantly, what she felt love was, are not real after all.

The two set off across the desert and even speak to the ancient voices of the oracles discovering who they are and were meant to be. The entwining love between them blossoms as they grow on their journey of adventure, battles, and struggles to become complete.

Uncovering the Goddess of Death

Casandra walked the busy street led by Lakis. Nephthys was perched on her shoulder, seemingly trying to hide her face in her feathers. Obviously, she did not like crowds. Casandra saw that the sunlight was fading and Lakis seemed to be in an awfully big hurry for it being so late. 


They had just disembarked from the ferry and Lakis immediately set out through the city center. He was just a man on a mission, and she decided to not try to figure out where he was going. She would just try to keep up. 


They came to a set of gates which let them back outside of the walls of the city and into some rocky grazing fields. She could hear goats and sheep in the distance. Finally she could not wait any longer.


“Lakis!” she moaned. “Can we stop for the night? I am so tired.”
