Sobek: Hunger Beneath the River (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798187335268)

The Nile gives life.

Sobek decides who survives it.

Before Egypt raised temples, crowned kings, or carved the names of gods into stone, Sobek waited beneath the dark water. He was the strength of the river, the jaws hidden below its surface, and the ancient hunger that taught every living thing to endure.

For generations, pharaohs carried his image into battle and claimed his power as proof of their divine right to rule. But when the brilliant and ruthless Nefru-Ka takes the throne, reverence becomes ambition.

Determined to free Egypt from drought, famine, and the unpredictable will of the gods, Nefru-Ka constructs a vast labyrinth beneath the Fayum. Hidden below its temples and archives is a machine designed to chain the Nile, drain divine power from sacred blood, and transform the pharaoh into something greater than mortal.

To complete his work, he captures Sobek's sacred crocodiles, turns their blood into a weapon, and breaks open a seal buried since the beginning of creation.

What awakens beneath the river is not a god.

It is an emptiness older than life itself.

With the Nile dying and Egypt collapsing into thirst, Sobek must fight the king who stole his power, confront gods divided by pride, and choose between his own hunger and the survival of the people who have feared and worshipped him for centuries.

Told entirely through Sobek's eyes, Through the Eyes of Gods: Sobek - Hunger Beneath the River is a dark, atmospheric mythological epic filled with ancient Egypt, divine warfare, crocodile gods, forbidden power, sacrifice, kingship, and the brutal struggle between civilization and the wild forces it believes it can control.

The river does not belong to the king.

The king belongs to the river.
