She catalogued his artifacts for four years. She had no idea he was still alive. When museum curator Zara Okafor opens a newly arrived sarcophagus late on a Tuesday night, she expects mummified remains. What she gets is an irritated deity who hasn't spoken to a living human since the fall of Rome. The God of the Dead is out. He cannot leave. And according to divine law, he is bound to her proximity until the ancient covenant her ancestor abandoned is finally resolved. Zara's response is extremely professional. A god two thousand years out of date. A woman who refuses to swoon. Anubis weighs the hearts of the dead. He has watched civilizations rise and fall from inside a sealed sarcophagus. He can make trained professionals decide to leave corridors without understanding why. He is completely unprepared for: — The London Underground — British weather — A woman who responds to supernatural crisis by opening her documentation app And he is utterly undone by the one thing he did not expect: Someone who knows exactly what he is — and stays anyway. But someone else knows he's free. Edmund Hargrove has been preparing for this for thirty years. His family imprisoned the God of the Dead once before. He intends to finish what they started. He has a weapon. He has a plan. He has thirty years of meticulous preparation. He did not account for Zara Okafor.

Perfect for readers who love: — Mythology romance with real theological stakes — Forced proximity and slow-burn enemies-to-lovers — A heroine who is competent, funny, and genuinely afraid — and acts anyway — A love interest who is ancient, dangerous, and genuinely tender — Egyptian mythology rendered with depth and care Daughter of Anubis is Book One in the Gods of the Duat series. He judged the dead for millennia. She judged him back.
