Resumen del Editor

Magic and magical creatures. Immortal gods and goddesses. History and mythology. Strap in for this action-packed YA novel that that takes place over the days leading up to World War II, when Ziva must rely on her wit and magic to outmaneuver Nazis and ancient Egyptian gods to prevent global destruction

Ziva has one memory of her parents, made the day they abandoned her on the streets of New York City when she was three years old. They left her with only a memory and a promise that she had a great and terrible destiny.

Fifteen years later, Ziva discovers that destiny includes powers that she doesn’t understand and can barely control. Her magic attracts vicious, otherworldly monsters and eventually compatriots to help her fight them. Sayer and Nasira know the secrets Ziva doesn’t; that Ziva is descended from Egyptian royalty and in possession of ancient magic passed down from the time of the gods. They promise to teach Ziva to control her magic and to give her the family for which she’s always yearned.

But trouble is brewing in the world around them; darkness is descending on Hitler’s Germany, threatening World War II. As the last heir of a revered Egyptian queen, Ziva is the only one with the power to prevent another costly global conflict. As Ziva navigates her newfound abilities and makes a connection with Anubis and other Egyptian gods, the Nazis are hunting for the ultimate weapon, and Ziva has caught their interest.

Great book

Great story! Amazing author. This is a must buy for anyone looking for a engaging story.

Fairly boring

It was a book that made me not want to cheer for the hero. While the Egypt information was interesting, the writing was stilted. It felt like an English major was writing a history novel, using sophisticated words to show off, rather than putting the story first.

BRAVO!

I loved it. It was a good stand alone but I still want MORE! But I do wonder is it a stand alone it feels like there could be another is the series?

The whole book was really flat

The narrator was one level the entire time. There was no excitement in the fights, no emotion in the drama. It was all read at the same pace with the same level of urgency (or lack thereof).

The story itself seemed forced and stuttery. Why was the ancient organization who is trying to save the world letting the vital missions be led by this new girl who has only barely begun to be trained?

I can give allowances for YA novels targeting younger audiences. This went well beyond that allowance and took some extra ground with it. The storytelling was not good.
