On the Island of Philae in the upper reaches of the Nile Valley, Nofret, the new priestess to the Temple of
Hathor, has left Dendera in the north where she received her training. She now has her own temple to govern.
The hierarchy makes her welcome, but as she settles into life on the island, she slowly realises that her predecessor's death may not have been straightforward.
Hearing different versions of the event, she takes it upon herself to find out what really happened to the Priestess Safiya and finds that the island holds its own secrets, which lie beneath the temple buildings.
