In the heart of Cairo, the past has chosen its bearer.

The Was Scepter of Seth?older than kings, older than gods?is not a weapon to wield, but a force to endure. Fractured and scattered across time, it carries the memories of empires, curses, and the price of divine attention.

As ancient gods stir and mortal ambition sharpens, whispers rise from the desert?fragments of history clawing back into the present. Every step closer draws shadows nearer, and every choice carries a cost no one was meant to bear.

The Was Scepter is a dark fantasy thriller about the burden of history, the weight of unseen forces, and the courage it takes to stand between what was and what must never be.

Some powers are too dangerous to wield... but too alive to ignore.

This is book #2 of the Sands of the Damned.
