"The prophecy said he'd die. The desert disagrees." A cursed prince. Three prophesied deaths. And the only way to survive is to walk into the desert with the very dog destined to kill him. Fourteen-year-old Prince Khaem has never been outside the palace walls. Born under a prophecy decreeing death by snake, by dog, or by crocodile, he has spent his entire life in a gilded cage - every wall painted to keep him safe, every servant trained to look away, every night filled with the low, constant hum of a curse vibrating through the limestone like a wasp trapped against glass. Then his father presses a scarab into his palm and tells him to walk. Khaem steps into the desert with a useless dagger, palace-soft hands, and Akhi - his golden dog, his oldest companion, and one of the three creatures prophesied to kill him. Within hours, the heat strips away everything he thought he knew. The sand swallows his sandals. And then he meets Nesit. A desert orphan with calloused hands and blue beads in her hair, she calls him "city boy," steals his dates, and teaches him to walk on sand. She has no royal blood and no prophecy whispering her name. What she has is her grandmother's knowledge - every hidden spring, every herb that heals, every viper nest to avoid - and the kind of courage that doesn't flinch. When the first trial finds them - a living shadow shaped like a serpent, bound to the prophecy and hunting the prince - Nesit doesn't run. She offers it sweet milk and calls it lonely. Three trials. Three keys. Three choices that could cost Khaem everything. And beneath it all, the Nile carries something the priests don't speak of and the scribes don't record. The river carries memory. And memory, it turns out, can be rewritten. For readers who love Egyptian mythology, found family, friendship, first love, fierce heroines who survive by their wits, prophecies that are meant to be broken, and stories where the desert itself is a character. Prince of Sand and Scarab is Book 1 of The Nile's Memory - a YA mythological fantasy set in ancient Egypt, where the Nile carries memory, hieroglyphs come alive, and the only way to break a curse is to walk straight through it.
