Nefru-Sobek has devoted her life to serving the Temple of Sobek, tending the sacred crocodiles believed to embody the power of the ancient river god. When the crocodiles begin ignoring food to stare upstream, she senses something is wrong long before anyone else.

Soon the Nile delivers dead fish, poisoned water, blood, and human bodies into the temple's channels. As fear spreads across Egypt, Nefru discovers that the river itself is dying—and the gods bound to it are dying as well.

Her search for answers leads into forgotten tombs, buried temples, and secrets erased from history, where she uncovers an ancient betrayal that threatens not only Sobek but also the balance between humanity and the divine. With time running out, Nefru must confront powers older than the pharaohs and decide how much she is willing to sacrifice to save a god—and a civilization.

Priestess of Sobek is the first novel in The Priestesses Cycle, an epic dark fantasy that blends ancient Egyptian mythology, supernatural mystery, and atmospheric horror into a tale of faith, sacrifice, and the awakening of forgotten powers.
