With over 80 chapters containing unique poetic prose, Desert Stars tells the story of two Egyptian boys, Horus and Set, growing from friends with benefits to something more. It is a modern novella that shows the difficult way of claiming your own sexuality, coming out and stop shaming yourself. This story is meant as a love letter to people still growing, and not being ashamed of who they are.
Even while including a lot of symbolism and names from Egyptian mythology, this book is not a traditional modern retelling. Yet you're free to read it as one.
