The Anubis Pact: Death is Only the Beginning

Her theories cost her everything. The truth will cost her soul.

Dr. Lena Nasser is a pariah in the world of academia, haunted by the ghost of her father's legacy and ridiculed for her belief that the Egyptian underworld is a real, physical place. With nothing left to lose, she performs a dangerous, forbidden ritual, hoping only for a whisper of validation from the other side. Instead, she gets a god.

When the ritual goes awry, Lena's soul is violently bound to Anubis, the ancient, powerful, and coldly beautiful god of death. Trapped in the stunning, terrifying landscapes of the Duat, she is a prisoner of the very myths she has studied. Anubis, a being of pure law and order, sees her as a chaotic contaminant—a mortal stain on his perfect realm that he must cleanse, even if it destroys her.

But a new darkness is rising. A supernatural "soul-blight" is spreading through the afterlife, a plague that eats at the very essence of the dead. Anubis, faced with a threat his divine senses cannot comprehend, realizes the only one who can see the pattern in the decay is his mortal prisoner. Forced into a reluctant alliance, they must navigate a web of divine politics, fend off a high-tech invasion from a mortal rival, and hunt the vengeful god responsible for the blight. Their journey together, a clash of mortal heart and divine duty, soon deepens into a fierce, forbidden love that threatens to shatter the laws of both their worlds.

Now, caught between a conspiracy of the gods and the ambitions of men, Anubis must weigh his eternal kingdom on the scales against a mortal woman's heart. He is the god of endings, but to save her, he may have to sacrifice everything he is.

The Anubis Pact is a breathtaking, epic romantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Madeline Miller, weaving a tale of high-stakes adventure, ancient mythology, and a love powerful enough to defy death itself.
