In ancient Alexandria, a brilliant scholar and a fierce warrior are drawn together by a mystical artifact stolen from the tomb of a god-king.
Bhaskar, a radical young astronomer, arrives in Alexandria with stars in his eyes. He dreams of studying with the most renowned minds of the ancient world and making his name at the Great Library. When he stumbles upon a stolen artifact—a sundial tied to the Gods of Egypt—he is ripped away from the safe haven of his scrolls and plunged into a world of danger and supernatural intrigue.
On his first night in the city, Bhaskar is saved by Anu, a powerful warrior whose intervention feels anything but accidental. As the danger surrounding the sundial grows, so does the sizzling attraction between them. But neither man has revealed the full truth of their past —or their intentions.
In a world where gods still meddle in mortal lives, will the forces of darkness drive them apart, or is their love already written in the stars?

For anyone who enjoys action thrillers centred round a romantic pairing in ancient Egypt, this book will be a treat. The author’s research is superb although she admits she has played fast and loose with some details for the sake of the plot. Bhaskar has come to Alexandria from India to study but is caught up in a criminal web of smugglers and a death cult, and his new lover Anu is not all he seems. At the heart of the plot lies a mystical sundial. Bhaskar sees it as a source of inspiration for his astronomical calculations but it has deeper significance. There are twists and turns, paranormal creatures who stalk the hero, and a happy ending that brings relief to characters and readers alike. Recommended for lovers of Egyptology who want an mm romance as well.
