The Cat of Bubastes

In the grand and sprawling empire of Ancient Egypt, the laws of the gods are absolute, and no creature is more sacred than the cat. This is the world young Amuba, a Prince of the Rebu, is thrust into after his father is killed in battle and he is carried away into captivity. He becomes the faithful servant and companion to Chebron, the son of the high priest of Osiris. Their life within the temple precincts of Thebes is one of privilege, learning, and strict religious observance. But a moment of tragic accident shatters their peaceful existence forever. While practicing his archery, Chebron accidentally kills the sacred cat of Bubastes, a creature beloved by the entire city and under the direct protection of the formidable goddess Pasht. The crime, even if unintended, is unforgivable, and the sentence is death for the perpetrator. In an instant, Amuba and Chebron are transformed from respected members of the community into fugitives, hunted by every citizen and soldier. With Chebron’s headstrong sister, Mysa, they must now embark on a desperate and perilous flight from the only home they know. Their journey becomes a thrilling struggle for survival across the harsh deserts and down the mighty Nile, as they seek an impossible escape from the relentless wrath of an entire nation and its vengeful gods.
