From back cover of book - Kira Solomon's life has never been simple. Battling against the Fallen, serving the Egyptian goddess Ma'at, becoming romantically involved with a 4000-year-old Nubian warrior - these are now everyday realities. But something is changing. Kira's magic is becoming dangerously unpredictable, tainted by the Shadow she has been trained to destroy.
Matters grow worse when an Atlanta museum exhibit based on the Egyptain Book of the Dead turns out to have truly sinister properties. As the body count rises, even long-trusted allies start to turn against Kira. She can hardly blame them - not when the God of Chaos is stalking her dreams and the shocking truth about her origins is finally coming to light. As one of the good guys, Kira was a force to be reckoned with. But if the only way to stop a terrifying adversary is to fight Shadow with Shadow, then she's ready to find out just how very bad she can be.
In this 3rd book of the series we finally find out who Kira's parents were. And just when she needs support the most, Balm goes missing along with the Spider god Anansi. Khefar and Kira must depend on themselves to fight the evil Shadow. The book started slowly and it took awhile to really get into the story, a long build-up until the final showdown at the museum. Not nearly as action packed as the first books but very satisying to finally know why Kira is what she is.
