Synopsis

Tallahassee Mitford is a student of archaeology and an assistant curator at the local museum. As she examines an artifact found in an airport locker, she is suddenly surrounded by a riot of light, heat, sound and pain and then falls senseless. Upon awaking, Tally finds that she has been hurled into a time after Egypt was overrun by barbarians. To a strange Nubian kingdom called Meroe. There, moved by forces beyond human comprehension, she learned the reason for her summoning. In a land known as Egypt’s darker sister, Tallahassee Mitford became Ashake, the reincarnation of a magnificent warrior princess, a priestess of power ordained for a destiny of war against unearthly forces of evil – and the unfathomable specters know only as the Wraiths of Time.
