About the author

Nevine Essam is an Egyptian journalist turned digital author and storyteller whose work bridges the ancient and the futuristic. Her writing explores timeless human emotions through the lens of mystery, philosophy, and love — blending the echoes of Egypt’s past with the pulse of modern imagination.

As the creator of The Circuits Saga and Whispers of Thebes series, Nevine invites readers on a journey through mind and soul — from AI-driven worlds to the sacred beauty of Pharaonic wisdom. Her stories reflect a deep fascination with memory, identity, and the invisible threads that connect hearts across time.

Nevine’s mission is simple yet profound: to turn dreams into pages, and pages into worlds that never fade.

Inspired by the timeless depth of Naguib Mahfouz, the sensitivity of Ihsan Abdel Quddous, the spiritual wisdom of Kahlil Gibran, and the universal insight of Paulo Coelho, Nevine continues to craft stories that speak to the heart and soul alike.
