About This Book
A scholar acquires an ancient manuscript that unfolds a Theban tale of passion, rivalry, and occult practices centered on an enchantress and her circle. Court politics, jealous lovers, and a vindictive enemy combine with magic, statues and temple rites to produce murder, tomb desecration, and the invocation of gods for justice and vengeance. Episodes move between archaeological present and vivid reconstructions of ceremonies, love affairs, battles, and daring rescues, culminating in eerie consequences for bodies and souls and an exploration of how ritual, reputation, and supernatural power shape fate in life and the afterlife.
