Nahum 1:7, NKJV: The Lord is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him.

In 1888 Victorian England, Ami Dalton navigates a clandestine dual life. By day, she strives to establish herself as a respected Egyptologist, overcoming the gender biases that permeate academia.

Expecting a renowned Oxford professor, Edmund instead finds himself entangled with Ami, the professor’s determined daughter.

As they delve into the treasures, their connection deepens, but trouble emerges when a golden griffin–rumored to bear the curse of Amentuk–surfaces, and they’re left to wonder if the curse really is at play, or if something more nefarious is hiding among the shadows. . . .
