When a plague devastates her city, a mysterious group of Egyptians offer her safe passage to their unknown country. Despite their leader's oath to return her to Greece should she wish it, Daphne quickly finds that the Egyptians have sinister intentions for her and her fellow travelers. Her narrative explores the conflicts between Greek and Egyptian culture, as well as the complicated role of gender in ancient civilizations.
