| Condemned by the god Set for helping resurrect his brother Osiris, who he had murdered, Kahma, once Osiris' high priest, is doomed to walk through eternity alone as one of the undead. To further torture Kahma, Set imprisoned Senin, Kahma's love, in a cave after he caught them together, forcing him to watch his mortal love die a slow death of starvation. While Kahma, being immortal, would live, Senin could not. Kahma held her in his loving, now immortal arms as Senin swore, with her last breath, she would return to him in the future. Her mortality forced her to leave him alone for a time, to wander through the millennium with a broken heart, haunting the deserts of Egypt as a specter.
It is 1926 and Emma Bonham's aunt has paid for her to go to Egypt on an archaeological expedition, the dream of her lifetime. Since childhood, she has been haunted by dreams of Egypt. As she had become a young woman the dreams had included a dark lover. At last she found herself in Egypt on an expedition among the pyramids, to her unexpected distress in the middle of strange and mysterious cycle of events. Their tour guide died, bitten by a poisonous snake and the next night they were attacked by black garbed riders. Everyone in her expedition was kidnapped or killed except Emma who was saved by a strange beast that appeared over her that formed out of the sand and bore her away to his cave. Emma begins to unravel the mysteries of her dreams, learning who she really is and the horrible danger she has put herself in by inadvertently reading the ancient hieroglyphics found on a newly discovered tablet. Drawn to Kahma, who she learns rescued her from Set's minions, she also learns who Kahma is and why she is erotically drawn to him. The mystery begins to unfold and together they begin to face what seem to be unbeatable circumstances that could not only be horrible for them but affect all of humanity. Ms. Jordan has written a highly sensuous and erotic love story that spans time and is as hot as the sands of the Egyptian desert. Using the Egyptian myth of Set, Osiris, and Isis as a basis, she has woven a love story that will put you on the edge of your seat and keep you squirming while you are there. Each erotically written love scene is passion unleashed between two people whose love will last throughout eternity and can never die. Not even the evil curse of Set can condemn their love. With a true talent for touching the heart with the tender embrace of love and faith across time, Ms. Jordan tells a tale of two people's hearts and souls linked over the ages.
