Ancient Egypt, 1550 BCE: Nima's beauty and skill as a dancer leads an infatuated enemy to kidnap her after destroying an Egyptian border town. However, she's not the only hostage in the enemy camp: Kamin, an Egyptian soldier on a secret mission for Pharaoh, has been taken as well. Working together to escape, the two of them embark on a desperate quest across the desert to carry word of the enemy's invasion plans to Pharaoh's people. As they flee for their lives, these two strangers thrown together by misfortune have to trust in each other to survive. Nima suspects Kamin is more than the simple soldier he seems, but she finds it hard to resist the effect he has on her heart. Kamin has a duty to his Pharaoh to see his mission completed, but this clever and courageous dancer is claiming more of his loyalty and love by the moment. Kamin starts to worry, if it comes to a choice between saving Egypt or saving Nima's life...what will he do? Aided by the Egyptian god Horus and the Snake Goddess Renenutet, beset by the enemy's black magic, can Nima and Kamin evade the enemy and reach the safety of the Nile in time to foil the planned attack? Can there ever be a happy future together for the humble dancer and the brave Egyptian soldier who is so much more than he seems?
