Gods Are Watching

In 1500 BCE, the Minoan king's celebrated artist Paleus is invited by the prince of Egypt to travel to Thebes to paint a mural in Egypt's royal palace. But the unsuspecting Paleus and his family and friends arrive in an empire reeling from years of war-and are quickly caught up in rebellions, political intrigue, and even an assassination attempt on the royal family. To complete his omission successfully-and survive the chaos surrounding him-Paleus must use his wits to deal with natural disasters, uninvited passions, and powerful magic and appease the Egyptian gods themselves.
