Ren
Nadiah Zahi knew how to live anywhere in the world - as a foreigner.
But when her father's diplomatic term at the UN came to an end, she had to go home - to Egypt.
She'd only ever seen glimpses of her country as a child, and having to go back now, was daunting. Her reality was made worse by having to say goodbye to Dean Stanton, the greatest guy she'd ever known.
Since arriving to Cairo, Nadiah Zahi continues to stand out like a sore - depressed - thumb. Her Arabic wasn't just broken, it was shattered to pieces. The mass public had collectively labeled her Khawagaya Masreya: An Egyptian Foreigner.
On her journey to learn more about her homeland and plant some roots, Nadiah heads to the Pyramids of Giza where she enters the colossus of Khofu.
A cryptic message, there, weighed over her like a curse, but it would later become the key to her self discovery, her Ren.
On this epic journey, Nadiah meets a tour-guide, Ahmed, who's rich voice resonates with an allure that is too powerful for her to ignore. Little does she know who he really is and what his presence in her life would reveal about her own identity.
What magic is it that dwells with the Pharaohs beneath the sands of Egypt? Her Ren.

About the author
Amira Awaad
9 books38 followersGreetings from the land of the Pharaohs.
I'm an Egyptian woman - born in Central Africa and raised all over the world. I came back to Egypt when I was 18 years old and have lived here, happily, every since. By way of work, I'm an academic dean, an educator, and a writer.
As far as my writing goes, I tend to "break the mold". Honestly, I'd shatter the bloody thing if I could. I like to change things up and keep things fresh and new and original. So, if a book idea burns in me, I light the flames and write it.
My favorite stories always flirt with old mythology and are intertwined with lots of romance and adventure. Be warned now: I LOVE writing a good plot twist!
In the labyrinth of my fantasy-driven mind, pens are my wands and I'll spin the tales like a dervish-man.
