    Ever wondered what ancient secrets lie buried beneath the sands of Egypt? Let me tell you about Sekhet, a curious and determined girl from a humble village whose life takes an extraordinary turn. She stumbles upon a mysterious amulet—heavy, pulsing with an otherworldly energy, and etched with cryptic hieroglyphs. It's like it has a life of its own, hinting at forgotten powers and secrets lost to time. 
Intrigued by this enigmatic artifact, Sekhet seeks out Neferu, a girl from a distant and mysterious family who've just moved into the grand, crumbling estate on the outskirts of the village.

I won’t allow it. 
Cedric needs medicine—better yet, a fucking miracle—but given that we’re trapped in Neverland, I’m forced to turn to our enemies for help, the ones we’ve been slaughtering at any and every opportunity: Neverland’s natives. It’s suicide, but if death is what I risk to give him a chance, so be it.

Let down my walls and trust a stranger, my enemy, or risk Cedric’s life… and my own fragile heart.
