Summary

In the ancient sands of Egypt, where gods whisper and the veil between life and death is thin, there reigned a Pharaoh named Kokb'ael, wise, powerful, and beloved by his people. But beneath his golden rule lay a fear darker than the shadowed tombs of the underworld – a fear of mortality and a forgotten legacy.
"Origins: The Pharaoh's Pact" delves into the heart of Kokb'ael's obsession, as a prophecy of doom sets him on a perilous path. Desperate to transcend the grip of death and carve a name that would echo through the ages, Kokb'ael turns to forbidden magic, seeking the knowledge that lies hidden in the cryptic whispers of shadows and ancient texts.
His quest leads him to The Grey, an enigmatic figure bearing the secrets of immortality. But such power comes with a grave cost. As Kokb'ael embraces the dark arts, he transforms not only his fate but also the destiny of his kingdom. His pursuit of eternal life ushers in an era of darkness, casting a shadow over the lands he once nobly ruled.
Journey into a world where the line between hero and villain blurs, and where the pursuit of eternal life comes at an unimaginable price.

    “Dr. Georgia Thackery is smart, resourceful, and determined to be a great single mom to her teenager. Georgia is normal in every respect—except that her best friend happens to be a skeleton named Sid. You’ll love the adventures of this unexpected mystery-solving duo.”—Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times bestselling author 
      
    Georgia Thackery is feeling pretty good about her summer job teaching at prestigious Overfeld College, and she’s renting a rustic cabin right by a lake for herself, her daughter, Madison, and her best friend, Sid the Skeleton. Together again, the trio are enjoying the quiet when a teenager named Jen shows up looking for her friend. Georgia doesn’t recognize the name, but she learns that the person Jen was looking for is actually Sid. 
      
    Sid reveals that he and Jen are part of a regular online gaming group that formed locally, and one of their members has gone missing. Sid admits that he might have bragged about his investigative prowess, enough so that Jen wants him to find their missing player. Given that Sid doesn’t have many friends offline—none, really, unless you count the Thackery family—Georgia agrees to help him search. They manage to discreetly enlist Jen, who lives in town, and follow the clues to … a dead buddy. 
      
    Now they’ve got a killer on their hands. Probing the life of Sid’s friend, they realize a lot is wrong both on campus and in the seemingly quaint town, and someone doesn’t want them looking deeper.
