A novel of myth, magic, and adventure, set in the Age of the Seven Wonders of the World.

The Lord of the Abyss is rising in Egypt. Can a reckless young Greek find the power to stop him?

Imprisoned in a slave yard, tormented by spells of madness, Korax the Greek struggles to regain his memory.

Purchased by the High Priest Harnouphis, he is given an Egyptian name, transported to a temple on the Nile, put into service as a translator.

But Harnouphis also has another plan: to tap the Greek's extraordinary talent as a seer to advance his own dark ambitions.

As his wits return, Korax forges a plan of his own: to learn enough magic to escape and return to his home island of Rhodes. But before he can act, he must answer a calling from the Goddess Isis:

 "Are you willing to serve the gods?"
