A prince behind walls. A dog with a secret. A desert that doesn't forgive.
Prince Ameni has spent fourteen summers trapped inside the limestone elegance of the palace, sheltered from a prophecy that says he will never see his sixteenth. But when his father presents him with a golden scarab and a cryptic warning, the Prince realizes the greatest danger isn't the curse outside—it's the silence within.
Alongside his golden hound, Anubis, and a desert girl who treats sand vipers like pets, Ameni must navigate the Three Trials of the Lapis Path. From the riddle of a stone lion to the shifting shadows of the Nile, every step away from the palace is a step closer to a fate he was never meant to survive.
Will the Prince claim his freedom, or will the desert reclaim its own?
