Blurb

Fifteen years have passed since the demons of the great snake god, Apep, stood before the high city walls. In this fourth book in The Gods of Chaos series, peace has returned to the north and to the eight great cities that hold the Deities of the Primordial Chaos.

Yet, Shuma, the wise woman, still lives in fear and the past remains with her as the curse cast by the serpent god upon the name of Gallius, the warden, blights the lives of her children.

Fearing for her girls and being enlightened by her dreams, she persuades Gallius that they must leave the north and travel under the guidance of the gods. Heading south, they are tasked with seeking the Scroll of Truth and lift the words that taint their lives.

Review

I was an Egypt and Dinosaur girl growing up, and to be perfectly honest, I still am. While I may have grown this fascination through perhaps less than historically and scientifically based media, namely The Mummy and Jurassic Park, I have since continued to be interested in both things. Why am I sharing this? Well because The Gods of Chaos series is perfect for Ancient Egyptian fans be they merely interested in the myths, culture or history Goodwin has created a series that will immerse you in the world of the past and with a great amount of detail to boot.

Obviously, because this is the fourth in the series, I would first recommend reading the other three. While they can be read standalone, it gives you a greater understanding of what is happening or has happened and who characters, particularly the Gods and Goddesses, are. One thing I really enjoy about this series is the ‘fantasy formula’ or ‘quest formula’ as I like to call it of the narrative but each story is unique and different in its own way keeping you engaged and hooked. Our characters are often tasked with a quest that takes them from the place they know to new locations where they encounter friends, enemies, and family as well.

We do have a lot of family connections in this book but I think they work well, and I loved seeing what had changed in the gap (15 years) between this book and the third one. We know I don’t spoil the plot but I was gripped throughout and really enjoyed this one. If you are a fan of historical adventure and historical fiction this series is most definitely for you. I really hope we get even more adventures in the future.

I was given a Copy to review but my review is left honestly and voluntarily.

About the Author

Glennis Goodwin is a British author who has long held an interest in the myths and culture of the Ancient Egyptians. Along with that, the people of southern Africa have also been of interest and in the early 1980s, she was fortunate to live and work in Zambia. While there, she became involved with organising charity events through the Lioness Club which helped in fundraising activities for the local community. This she did for five years before returning to the UK in 1987.

In her working life, she has gone from Nursing to Retail and from Academic Publishing to PA, but during that time she never lost the feeling that Africa gave her, and, in those years, she had holidays in both Egypt and Kenya.

In 2004, she aimed to return to her nursing career and enrolled in New Zealand on a refresher course. Settling into life on the other side of the world, she continued to further her career, met her husband and made her home there.

Sadly, a brain haemorrhage and slight stroke ended her study, but after her recovery, she found herself wanting to write, something she had longed to do but never seemed to have the time for. Returning to the UK in 2017, she settled down at her computer, and over the following months, the tales of the Eight Deities of the Primordial Chaos came to life in the story of Malian, the altar tender. Her first book, The Eighth Deity, then came into being and The Gods of Chaos series was born.

Now living in a Nottinghamshire village, she has since written Brotherhood of Apep, and In the Footsteps of Ra, her second and third books in the series, and her fourth title, The Papyrus of Ma’at, is published here. Currently, she is working on a fifth title in the series along with hoping to further expand her writing. Still using the knowledge gained from her trips to Egypt, she is looking into an Ancient Egyptian murder mystery story set on the banks of the Nile
