description: Death has come to the Ægyptian city of On, and only Magister Setne Inhetep, wizard-priest and detective in the service of Pharaoh, has a chance of solving the mystery in time to stop a rebellion. When a chance encounter with a hired killer leads to a front-row seat at a royal assassination, Setne is thrown into a web of deceit and danger that touches everyone from the halls of power to the church of the evil god Set. Along with a seductive former slave and a hard-bitten detective with a mind as sharp as Setne's (and a tongue even sharper), the Magister must unravel the plot that goes deeper than anyone can imagine, and touches on forces even more dangerous than Set himself...The father of fantasy roleplaying and the co-creator of the Dungeons &amp; Dragons roleplaying game, Gary Gygax has had more influence on modern fantasy than any author since J. R. R. Tolkien. Dive into Gygax's lavishly imagined vision of ancient Egypt and discover a fantastic mystery from the man who redefined a genre.
