Synopsis
It was her blood that brought ruin to not only the Egyptian pantheon of gods but to humanity itself. And somehow, it will be her blood that restores the balance of life and death, of godhood and magic. Sekhmet, otherwise known as the powerful one and the mistress of dread, had become a pawn in a game of love and war. Nephthys, the younger sister of Isis and wife of the god of destruction, Set, made a desperate decision to save the life of the one she loved most, shattering the divine order, and setting a course for the darkest days for gods and humans alike. Since, it was blood that damned the world, it must be the blood of Sekhmet that redeems it and restores humanity to its natural order.
