An Egyptian Tale: Amulets of Princess Amun-Ra, Vol. 1

by Veranice Berry

THERE WAS ONE RULE... Never consort with a human, but Gods and Goddesses make mistakes as well. Amun-RA has created a detrimental situation when he created three alluring Amulets. Izzi-Ra (Iz-Eye-Rah), the princess of Egypt, finds herself linked with a scrawny lower-class boy from the traitorous village outside the kingdom named Neenho (Nino). The two quickly find themselves in a power struggle with the Gods of Egypt. Together, they join forces with some peculiar characters to find the amulets and discover who the princess of Amun-Ra was. All are tethered in a powerful disarray of lies, secrets, and chaos as they embark on the journey of a lifetime through Egypt, where power, magic, and Gods originated.



The Amulets of Princess Amun-Ra was just a tale told throughout Egypt. I couldn’t care less about some old gems. Parties, gold, silk … I have the blood of the gods coursing through me, being that I am the Princess of Egypt, and my father is Pharaoh, the only earth god.
Ahket, the season of flooding, has passed and the yearly Peret games are underway. The royals in Asir have a lot to celebrate, and the arrival of our greatest allies has the kingdom in a jovial state of mind. But not me. Prince Kade’s arrival is just another ploy of my father’s. With the arrival of my 13th birthday, it seems I am to marry the prince.
Distraught, I attempt to take my life but surprised when, instead, I find new strength. I run away and straight into a young male who belongs to the traitorous village on the outskirts of the kingdom. My perfect world comes crashing around me. The young male, Neenho, and I have he’ka—light!
Between the forced marriage and the magic, a dangerous man is after me and the young male to destroy us for our light … and he wants the Amulets? We are thrown in a whirlwind of chaos, cursed mountains, and secret villages to unearth the Amulets. To top it all off, the gods fear Neenho and I and want us dead. Our own makers!
Well, happy birthday, Izzi-Ra.

Goodreads giveaways

I won the kindle version of this book from Goodreads giveaways. The book started off really good and kept my interest all the way tell about 75% through. Then it just became to much going on, it was kinda hard for me to keep up with and the writing style wasn’t my favorite. However the book is about supernatural powers and goddesses, that’s always interesting to read.
