Set

Fifteen years of life in ancient Egypt are already challenging enough, and with a god at your back, it's even more so. As a child, the girl accidentally signed a contract with Seth, not even realizing what she was signing up for. Now she's officially considered "his," and the stigma is palpable. Seth doesn't appear in a golden glow; he simply comes like a hot wind or a heavy whisper in her head. He's her protector, but his guardianship is more like a predator watching over its prey. The girl tries to live a normal life, but the sand in her sandals is always too hot, and her luck too explosive. She realizes that the time of reckoning for her childhood mistake is approaching, as the forces of chaos within her are beginning to grow uncontrollably. She's terrified to admit to her family that she belongs to the god everyone fears. Each encounter with him in her dreams becomes increasingly real, and his demands ever clearer. Now she must somehow unravel this secret before the contract finally takes her from the human world into the desert. During a routine walk in the desert, the girl became trapped in a sandstorm. Instead of swallowing her, the sand suddenly solidified, becoming as hard as stone. Seth emerged from the tornado before her, lazily brushing a strand of hair from her face and dryly remarking, "You're too young to die so foolishly; it's not good for the contract." From that moment on, a dark tattoo appeared on her wrist for the first time, pulsing with heat whenever the god was nearby.
