The Wise Woman (The Stone of Light Series)
The Wise Woman
Since the death of Ramses the Great, the villagers of the Place of Truth must produce their best work to honour Egypt's greatest Pharaoh. And as the new master of work, Nefer the Silent bears the ultimate responsibility for all he oversees. But he is in mortal danger; Mehy, Chief Treasurer of Thebes and leader of the armed forces, continues to plot Nefer's downfall and to try to steal the Stone of Light.
For Ubekhet, Nefer's wife, newly endowed with knowledge of the supernatural, the time has come to prove that she is worthy of the title she has been given -- Wise Woman -- and to protect her beloved husband from the evil that is haunting the Place of Truth.
Thefts, murders, floods sorcery and evil: Nefer and Ubekhet must take on all this and more as they prepare for the grandest funeral Egypt has ever known.
