The God and the Gate: Book Two of the Rahotep Saga
A sinister conspiracy continues to hunt down the last supernatural beings on Earth. An absolutely implacable enemy from the dawn of time now sets its sights on Rahotep, the Egyptian shapeshifter who, after four thousand years of life, is fast approaching the end of his days.
Jane is a woman who perfectly resembles Rahotep's greatest love from ancient Sumer. She admits that she was created by his enemies to seduce and capture him. She insists that she has thrown off her allegiances, wishing only to join him in what may be his final battle.
As Rahotep and his allies race to solve the mystery, a darker conspiracy begins to emerge. More than one faction has mysterious designs on the Egyptian, and a war in the deepest shadows is brewing. Rahotep and Jane soon realize that their fates are linked to a threat far beyond anything they have experienced, and that humanity's fate may well hang in the balance...

Another great read in the Rahotep world. This one wraps the story started in Rahotep with the stakes growing and more being revealed. Still plenty of history to look up and fun fantasy while the characters are further realized.

Eye-opening even at 3 am
I read this book primarily between the hours of midnight and 6 am while feeding my newborn son. I needed something to keep me awake and engaged so I didn't nod off while giving him his bottle. Let me tell you: The God and the Gate did the trick in spades, not to mention clubs, hearts, and diamonds. Trent's seamless integration of established and original mythologies creates a deep, broad, and vivid world unlike any you're likely to have encountered elsewhere, resulting in characters as inimitable as they are relatable and battles as memorable as they are violent. I hope the next (final?) book in the series is as primally satisfying as this one, though I have little doubt it will be.
