The Knot of Isis by Ahmos T.B. - Mythological Fantasy / Egyptian Myth Retelling - May 2026
Blurb:
She defied a king. She defied a god. Now she will defy death itself.
When Osiris is betrayed and torn from the world of the living, the order of Egypt collapses with him. Set takes the throne. The gods fall silent. But Isis does not mourn. She searches.
Across temples stripped of their power, through marsh and desert, beneath the eyes of a ruler who sees everything, she hunts for what was stolen. Not for vengeance. Not for war. For restoration. For a love that refuses to end.
At her side stands Nephthys, sister, shadow, and the only ally she can trust in a palace that listens and a kingdom that has learned to whisper. Together, they will attempt the impossible: to gather what was broken, to outwit a god of chaos, to call a king back from the dark. But resurrection comes with a price. Some boundaries, once crossed, change the world forever.
A myth-accurate, cinematic retelling for fans of Madeline Miller's Circe and the dark beauty of Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology.
Love vs. vengeance. Order vs. chaos. The gods bleed like men, and men rise like gods.
Triggers: Death of a loved one (spouse), grief, dismemberment (symbolic/mythological), pregnancy, violence by supernatural forces.
