That's real bones, not dollars, or...er...rather the 24 vertebrae of Osiris, which were divided amongst the Brotherhoods of Seth and Horus and the Sisters of Isis, and MUST be combined every five hundred years or Chaos will reign. Tricky business when you're dealing with the followers of Seth!

If you're interested in an Urban Fantasy set in modern Cairo that brings ancient mythology to the fore, then please consider my novel published by Drollerie Press. AND it's less than five bucks.
Here's what SF CROWNSEST had to say about it.
"'24 Bones' is a winning debut. It's well-written and well-plotted, studded with drama, action, history and mythology. There's even a little romance. The conclusion is thrilling with the final outcome of the battle between good and evil held over until the very end...leaving you guessing until that very last page."
Here's the link to the full review:

Here's the blurb.
Seth, Horus, and Osiris are reborn, fated to re-fight their greatest battle.
Samiya, an Egyptian woman, and Taggart, a Canadian professor of Comparative Religion, have nothing in common, until they find themselves on opposite sides of a bloody war for causes neither is sure they believe in.
The Balance is in jeopardy, and either The Fullness: humanity, law, and reason; or The Void: animal instinct, chaos, and death; will soon rule the world.
But which is the right side? Reason has ruled for centuries. Isn't it time for Chaos to have a chance?
Please let me know if you enjoy it!
