About the Book
In the third installment in The Shadow Prince saga, Ash and his friends race against time to save Egypt, again. This time it’s to stop a war with Kush and its raging, roaring, lion-headed god Apedemak.
It takes Ash some convincing–since heroes get tired!–for Princess Sia to enlist him and his friends on a dangerous new quest. Sia believes Prince Rami is being held against his will by Lord Set, the mischievous Egyptian god of chaos. Does she really expect them to go outside of Egypt? All the way to Kush? Besides, didn’t Prince Rami betray them and his family?
Across the border, the kids discover things are worse than they imagined. Lord Set has convinced Apedemak, Kush’s powerful lion god of war, to gather his massive army of the living and dead to invade Egypt.
The odds do not look good for Ash and his friends, but Team Shadow Prince may have a chance when they meet a boy who wields a strange Kushite magic channeled through henna tattoos on his skin.
Will Ash and his friends stand a chance against the mighty rage of lions that threatens all of Egypt? Or will Lord Set’s deadly plan finally bring Egypt to its knees?

PRAISE FOR THE SHADOW PRINCE SERIES
“Durham weaves mythological tidbits galore into an engrossing climactic whirl of watery wrangles and awesome exploits. . . . Propulsive solarpunk.” — Kirkus Reviews for A Rage of Lions
“Durham's story is rich in detail and imagination. . . A rousing romp that shows kindness as a strength and power as a chance to improve our world.” — Booklist for The Shadow Prince
“Inventive. . . Well-rounded characters infuses the narrative with warmth. Bolstered by an accessible voice, Durham's middle grade debut weaves the power of renewable energy into a rollicking tale of gods and monsters.” — Publishers Weekly for The Shadow Prince
“Durham's middle grade debut is full of action, political intrigue, inventive solar powered gadgets, and quirky creatures. Ash is a sympathetic character who discovers his own self-worth and a surprising talent while competing in the grueling competition. An exciting, magical series opener perfect for fans of Rick Riordan, Kwame Mbalia's Tristan Strong, and Jonathan Stroud's 'Bartimaeus' series.” — School Library Journal for The Shadow Prince
“Along with exhilarating solar-powered speed racing and magically produced ice cream, Durham tucks in plenty of brisk but bloodless fighting, new hints of orphaned Ash's heritage and hidden powers of cognitive magic, and an enigmatic prophecy that heralds future exploits for him and a growing cast of friends, foes, and immortals. Nile-style adventures; just the ticket for Percy Jackson fans.” — Kirkus Reviews for The Longest Night in Egypt
This middle grade solarpunk series is set in an alternate Egyptian universe and kicks off with twelve-year-old Ash competing to become the shadow--and protector--of the prince.
