Five thousand years ago, the goddess Sekhmet issued a terrible threat to the first King of Egypt. The ankh she gave him must be returned to her in the future or people will die. Now, five thousand years later, an empty wooden box sits in front of Tomyris Currington. When she sealed it there was an ankh inside. It was a beautiful, priceless, jewel encrusted golden Ankh of Egypt. It is gone. There were only three people who could open this box. No one else. The box sits there, silent and empty. It is obvious that someone removed the ankh. Who? What has happened to the ankh? A better question is, who has the ankh?Lives will be lost. Relationships will be torn apart and one will stand in judgment. Will the Ankh be found before Sekhmet acts on her threats? Will lovers be reunited? Who stands in judgment? The answers are in The Ankh, the second Scepter of the Nile adventure.
