An action-packed contemporary fantasy for fans of Rick Riordan and Legendborn following a heartbroken girl who accidentally discovers her ex-boyfriend is the descendant of the Egyptian god of chaos and in danger from a deadly plot. Amira Shah is having a perfectly good, perfectly normal year--until her boyfriend (and hottest boy in school) Kaidan Jaziri breaks up with her on her seventeenth birthday. But Amira is never one to let things go, and after overhearing Kaidan loudly arguing with someone in town, she follows him, only to fall through a portal to the underworld, also known as Duat. There, she learns the chaotic ex-boyfriend who would endlessly rope her into trouble inherited his impulsive nature from his ancestor Apep, the god of chaos. Kaidan is intent on solving a spree of murders happening in the human realm. Someone is killing other descendants--and if Kaidan isn't careful, he might be next. Feeling a mystical pull to Kaidan and the underworld, Amira insists on helping solve the mystery. Together with Kaidan's rival and descendent of the sun god, Zain Neilos, they uncover secrets behind Amira's mysterious connection to the Egyptian pantheon and pursue the clever killer who may have been hiding among them all along.
