Markos likes being a young Roman mage, but such a conspicuous combination presents problems in Egypt after he and his parents relocate from Rome. Despite generously offering his magical talents to others, this young mage feels like an outsider, sometimes wishing he were invisible. Have you ever felt that way?
Markos searches Egypt for a place to be openly accepted, and even has a run-in with the famously fiendish Sphinx! Can Markos escape unscathed?

Storybase Books publishes books that help beginners learn Latin and Greek by reading. Our novellas use limited vocabulary to tell engaging stories that are accessible to novice- and intermediate-level readers. Meanings for many words are provided in footnotes, and a full index of all words, word forms, and phrases is included in each novella. Readers can thus read each novella on their own, with others, or with a class.
