Who are we, really, underneath the masks we choose to wear?Alex Kincaid is twenty-four years old and leads a quiet life in a small town. She works at Galen Industries and spends most of her time with her co-workers. Her friends, like Emma Bastian, want to meddle in Alex’s love life. That’s what friends do, right?
Alex is preoccupied with the odd letter she’s received. It grants her a large inheritance from a stranger. Among the effects is a magical mask that will change Alex’s life forever. After an attempt on her life, Alex is horrified to see the mask take the shape of her face. It’s endowed with the powers of the ancient sky deity Horus, the protector of order.
Alex is now in danger from Set, the god of storms and chaos. Set has vowed to take revenge against Horus for killing his lover. Since the mask fuses the personalities of its previous owners, Alex’s own identity is in danger of being lost forever. As she and her friends attempt to solve the mystery, the stakes keep rising. Set is hot on Alex’s trail, and he won’t stop. Alex discovers feelings for her co-worker Gabriel Reyes. Alex must carefully thread the needle of destiny and fulfillment.
The Secrets of the Kings is a story about who we really are. Nora Delzelle weaves a tale of ancient love and modern society into compelling fantasy. As the mystery is revealed, one thing soon becomes clear: no mask can hide the truth.
"...seamlessly blends ancient Egyptian mythology with a modern setting along with plenty of action and thrills... The story moves along briskly, and some great action sequences punctuate the tension...
Overall, The Secrets of the Kings is the very definition of a page-turner, and readers should not miss its memorable cast, compelling mysteries, and thrilling revelations."
