4-6Gods and Warriors series.
Hylas and Pirra are still on the run and still searching for the dagger of Koronos. Familiar thematic elements of the chase and meeting new friends and enemies are present in this fourth adventure. However, the new Egyptian setting, with its history, mythology, and mysticism, injects some fresh life into the series. The action, along with a burgeoning romantic subplot, keeps the story moving.
