This is the story of Nefertaru, a dancer and priestess at the temple of Sekhmet in Ancient Egyptian times. She appears briefly in both [[Wickedness by Deborah White|Wickedness]] and [[Deceit by Deborah White|Deceit]] but is at the heart of the plot of both novels. Sekhmet was the divine consort of the god Ptah, who in later Ancient Egyptian history became merged with the god Thoth.

My mother begins wailing as if someone has died and she is in mourning. At first my father tries to calm her, but grows angry when she struggles to break free from him. Then a cloth is pressed against my nose and mouth and I fall into the arms of the god Tutu, who takes me down into a deep and dreamless sleep.
