A FORGOTTEN EGYPTIAN GODDESS. A FAMILY IN DANGER. Victorian Egyptologist Clemmie's dark talents have torn her family apart. Now she has one chance to atone for the past. 'Brilliant... I loved it.' Santa Montefiore A FORGOTTEN EGYPTIAN GODDESS. A FAMILY IN DANGER. Victorian Egyptologist Clemmie's dark talents have torn her family apart. Now she has one chance to atone for the past. Clemmie's gift for reading hieroglyphs shines at the Egyptian relic parties which have made her father the toast of Victorian society. But at one party, the words she interprets from an unusual amulet strike fear into her heart. The childhood game she used to play about the immortal sisters, Isis and Nephthys, takes on a devastating resonance and it is only by following Nephthys' story back to Egypt that she can undo the mistakes of the past. 'An irresistible page-turner' Susan Stokes-Chapman, author Pandora 'An intoxicating tale of adventure and obsession' Emilia Hart, author of Weyward 'A joy of a book' Fiza Saeed McLynn, author of The Midnight Carousel Readers ADORE Nephthys- 'A total page-turner! ... Wow! What darkness this book holds!' 'Unique and gripping.... this tale of Egypt and England was full of twists and turns.' 'A captivating blend of Victorian society, ancient Egypt, and dark secrets.'

About the Author

Rachel Louise Driscoll won the Curtis Brown Creative scholarship in 2020. Originally from the South West, she lives in the North East with her husband and cat, Cleopatra. Nephthys is her debut novel. She was inspired to write Clemmie's story by an experience she had at a local museum as a child where she was allowed to hold a mummified ancient Egyptian cat. Enjoying the hours of avid research required, Rachel even wrote some of the book wearing a corset in order to capture Clemmie's experience more accurately!
