Disappearance of a Scribe (Eye of Isis Book 2)

In ancient Alexandria, 47BC, Cleopatra – the seventh of her name, avatar of the goddess Isis, and ruler of the Kingdom of Egypt – watches over her city. The war has ended, but Alexandria has suffered greatly in its wake. Caesar has returned to Rome, and the queen must now restore her city and kingdom to their former greatness.

Amidst this backdrop, a troubling case emerges. A body has been found floating upright at the bottom of the sea, anchored by a weight around its feet. This is the second such corpse to be discovered, and with a city to rebuild and a kingdom to keep in line, Cleopatra cannot allow any more murders to interfere. She turns to Tetisheri, her Eye and closest confidant, tasking her to make things right.

As Tetisheri delves deeper into the mystery, she will uncover secrets, conspiracy, and danger far beyond her ken. This exquisite, absorbing historical mystery follows Tetisheri's investigation, as she navigates the intricacies of ancient Alexandria and the queen's court.
