Synopsis

A new reign is coming … Romance, magic, adventure, and horror collide in the start to this lush, epic, Ancient Egyptian inspired trilogy perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Sarah J. Maas. Princess. Priestess. Rebel. Thief. Tensions run as hot as the Khamsin winds in the great kingdom of Khetara. Rumors of the pharaoh's mysterious illness abound, and with them, murmurs of rebellion grow. Meanwhile, in the quiet desert, a forgotten oracle begins to unfold, setting a dark prophecy into action and drawing together four strangers … Princess SITA lives in the abundance of the palace, and in a moment of passion, she unmasks a betrayal that will put her life—and the entire royal court—in grave danger. A priestess-in-training, NEFF strives to understand her intense visions from the gods, except theirs is not the only magic at play in the grand temple. As a farmer's daughter, RAE knows how much the pharaoh's men have taken from her land, her people. Still, who will step forward to confront the king? KARIM was raised among the pyramids of the Red Lands and survives on the wealth of the dead as a tomb robber. But amid the spoils, an ancient evil awakens … Bloodshed is coming. Only together do these four have the potential to save the kingdom from destruction. But when the dust has settled, who will sit on the throne of Khetara?

Egyptian fantasy, prophecy, siblings, rebellion and revolution… It lowkey-key reminded of Game of Thrones just without the dragons. LET THIS FIND ITS AUDIENCE. P.S. I have seen this marketed as romantasy and it really isn’t. This is a political high, epic fantasy heavily influenced by Egyptian histo......more

I’ve read somewhere that all hot girls have an ancient Egypt era. I took hieroglyphics in college, and Zahi Hawass signed one of my archaeology books 🤓 I’m not sure I was ever a hot girl, but the Egyptian mythology in this fantasy was well-researched and detailed as the artists family grew up in Egy......more

Goodreads review by °.*• Evangeline •*.° on April 21, 2025

I really wanted to love this book — the premise was so promising, and I was drawn to the emotional depth and the setting. His Face is the Sun explores grief, identity, and the weight of coming of age, all wrapped in this quiet, dreamlike tone that had moments of real beauty. That said, I struggled to......more

Goodreads review by Jenny on April 06, 2025

This book really surprised me in the best way. It’s got everything—desire, war, ancient gods, monsters, and a creeping evil threatening to destroy it all. The world of Khetara, inspired by Ancient Egypt, was so vivid I could practically feel the desert heat and hear the whispers of old magic in the......more
