A teen age girl in desperate circumstances flees into an alternate past, hoping to find a better life. Here she steps into another, just as dangerous, world, one of magicians, rival gods and spell-casting. This is the final book in a YA series set in an alternate past—Ancient Egypt. There is plenty of action, brave young characters, twists and turns, all set in well-researched ancient setting. Egypt, all by itself, is sufficiently interesting for many readers, but here the “alternate” adds a bit more spice. The names of real history players and gods are here, slightly changed.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Toth's Priest" tells of Amara's and Namose's adventures and growing love for each other

Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2015

In her contemporary life, Amaa is an orphan, raised grudgingly by her uncle and threatened with rape by two men. When given a chance by two women skilled in magic to travel back in time to ancient Egypt, she accepts.
Namose wants to become a priest of the god Toth but is captured and forced to follow the dictates of an alien god and to translate scrolls of that god.
"Toth's Priest" tells of Amara's and Namose's adventures and growing love for each other. This book was obviously well-researched and is full of action. For those reasons, I gave it a 5 star rating. However, the sentences didn't show much variation and often read monotonously. I would have liked to see a bit more narrative interspersed with the dialogue.
Neverlheless, this is a great adventure and worthwhile read.

Ancient Egypt stories #BWLAuthor #MFRWAuthor #tim travel # Bast #Horu #Toth #Romance #paranormal #Alternate ancient Egypt

 

Tira flees a threat to her life and encounters two elderly women who offer her the chance to be sent to an alternate ancient Egypt with no thought of return. She has had a fascination with Egypt and can even read hieroglyphics. Once there she will be given a task. Failure could mean death. Dare she take the chance and can she find the lost symbols of the rule before an enemy finds them?

Kashe, son of the nomarch of Mero is in rebellion. His father desires him to join the priesthood of Aken Re, a foreign god. He feels he belongs to Horu, god of warriors and justice. He decides to leave home, meets Tira and joins her in the search for the symbols of the rule. Will his aid bring good fortune and will their growing love keep them from making a fatal mistake?

"This engaging voyage into an ancient Egypt that includes power-hungry priests and hazardous treasure hunts entertains from page one. Familial intrigue heightens the tension, as does a kidnapping or two. The cast of characters is dynamic and complements the well-conceived plot." ~ 4 Stars, Susan Mobley, Romantic Times Magazine

Seth, an undercover cop has been betrayed by his handler. To escape he calls a number on a flyer and is transported to an ancient Egypt he doesn’t understand. He must rescue the Daughter from the evil priests of Aken Re.

Merin is the Daughter. She must find the man who by wedding her will become Pharaoh. She plots to escape the priests of Aken Re and flee to those who years ago saved her life.

Can Seth and Merin find a way to defeat the priests? Is love the answer to their problems? Can they join with the Warrior of Bast and of Horu to bring unity to the Two Lands?

RT Review
Following on the heels of The Warrior of Bast, this story is filled with magic and fascinating characters. Those interested in ancient Egypt will find this an enthralling tale. A satisfying ending is presented for the hero and heroine, with a promising lead-in to the next story.

Thursday's Opening Scene from Toth's Priest #BWLAuthor #MFRWAuthor #Opening Sceen #Toth #Priest #paranormal #alternate ancient Egypt

 

A chill walked Amara’s spine and broke her concentration on the movements of the exercise. As she hit the wall to propel herself into the air, she slipped and landed in a heap on the matted gym floor of the church run community center. She peered toward the door. The local drug lord and his nephew paused in the doorway. Probably headed to the priest’s office for a weekly visit. Her hands coiled into fists.

Ramos moved away but Miguel remained. His hooded gaze stripped her naked. She rose and completed the final exercise of today’s martial arts training session. A quick glance at the door showed he was gone. She should have felt relief but the hands shook and the sour smell of rear remained.

“Ready for a match?” another of the students asked.

Amara shook her head. “I have to leave.”

The teenager stepped closer. “Wonder what Ramos wants?”

“Father Joe will know but I don’t intend to ask him.” With shaking hands she pulled on her jeans and tee shirt and tied her sneakers. In a half-run, she hurried to the door and left the community center.

Outside, aromas reached her. Cooking food, exhaust from cars and busses. Her own fear laced sweat. Noises penetrated. Music, horns, people’s voices. Her glance darted from side to side. Was anyone watching her?

What could she do? The last time she’s encountered Ramos’s nephew he’d frightened her. “Gonna plow you good, babe. You’ll sing for me real sweet.” She had no one to guard her back. Hadn’t had anyone since her father’s death. She sighed. She’s almost had a friend once. An undercover cop had saved her. Then Ramos had discovered the man’s identity. Seth had vanished. Was he dead?

As she scurried toward the apartment building where she lived with her uncle and his family, she fought to control the fear rocketing through her thoughts. Her breathing came in quick gasps. After her father’s death and her mother’s suicide her uncle had reluctantly given her a home. Social Security benefits had been the reason but she would soon age out.

When she reached the building instead of stopping on the fourth floor she continued up the stairs toward the room. She wasn’t ready to hear her uncle’s demands she quit school and find a job. She rubbed her arms. There was no one to help her.

Thursday's Third Scene from Toth's Priest #MFRWauthor #BooksWeLoveLTD #Romance paranormal #Egypt ancient #history alternate

Three nights of traveling with rests during the heat of the day convinced Namose Hebu was right. Without a camel and supplies he would never make the return trip to Tebes. Sand, dunes, jutting rocks. The desolation of the land lowered his spirits.

The camels began the bone-jarring gait. As he fought to keep his balance, in the distance Namose saw hints of green against the blue horizon. Trees meant an oasis. They drew closer and he saw a large tent with stripes the colors of the robes the priests wore.

Namose swallowed against a lump in his throat. They had reached their destination. He had no idea where they were except far to the east of the river, the bringer of life. He wanted to cry but he couldn’t waste tears. He wouldn’t find sympathy from the priests of Aken Re.

The camels halted and folded their kegs. Hebu released Namose. “Carry the scrolls to the tent.”

“What are they?” he asked.

Hebu chuckled. “You will soon see. Your father named you as one who could read the ancient writing used by the priests of Toth, a false god.”

Namose gulped. “I know a few words.” Why had his father said he could read the ancient writing? “I’m no scholar.”

Hebu’s chilling smile sent a warning. “The scrolls contain knowledge about powers only the priests of Aken Re. the true and only god, should possess.”

Namose rubbed his arms. Even in the heated air he felt cold. “What if I refuse?”

“You won’t. Your life is mine to command. Tomorrow you will begin.” He pushed Namose to the tent, “Eat and sleep until I wake you.”

Once again the desire to escape arose but there was no way. Refusal to obey Hebu would mean his death. He opened the flap and stepped into the enclosed space. After storing the bundle in the rear of the tent, he helped himself to cheese, dates and water. He ate and retreated to where he’d placed the scrolls and settled to sleep.

He dreamed. Toth appeared. Spoke. “Do what you must to stay alive. You know enough to satisfy the evil one. A time will come when you will act. First you must become a man. The scrolls are mine and will be returned to the temple.”

The vision faded leaving Namose’s questions unasked. Could he believe what he’d heard or had his desire directed the dream?
