The Egyptian Heir
by
Janelle Filteau
Whoever enters this tomb, and is not heir to the diamonds, will surely die. When the heir is revealed, they will be able to control the diamonds as they wish. The story of Pharaoh Obeko and the wish-granting diamonds he left behind enraptured Cassy as a child. "Did the heir ever come get the diamonds?" she asked. "Not yet," her grandfather replied, "but someday, they will." Now a teenager, Cassy has other concerns than bedtime stories about pharaohs. The tragic death of her parents forces her and her brothers to move to Saskatoon and live under the guardianship of their estranged eldest brother, Michael. Already struggling to navigate her new life as she mourns and fights with Michael, Cassy also has to face bullying at her new school at the hands of Zackary Exacil, who, for some reason, can’t seem to leave Cassy alone. The story of the Egyptian Heir, however, is more relevant to Cassy’s life than she knew. Targeted by a murderous group of criminals who believe she is the heir and want the power of Obeko’s diamonds for themselves, Cassy finds herself on a life-threatening journey that spans from the streets of Saskatoon to across the globe. Her only allies? Her once-tormentor Zack, and a mysterious organization called the FUA. The first entry of the Egyptian Heir series, The Egyptian Heir combines gripping thrills and chilling villains with a tender romance and reflections on family, and will delight readers of young adult and older.
