A boy discovers a stolen goblet, risking everything to escape his brother's grip.
In ancient Thebes, young Ranofer dreams of becoming a master goldsmith like his father. Trapped under the control of his cruel half-brother Gebu, his hopes seem distant. But when Ranofer stumbles upon a stolen golden goblet hidden in Gebu's room, he sees a chance to change his fate. Can he prove Gebu's guilt and claim his freedom, or will the dangers of the city consume him? As Ranofer navigates treacherous streets and his own fears, his journey becomes a thrilling quest for justice and self-discovery.
“Ranofer tried the box first. He found nothing there… The chest looked no more promising… There was something dark and curving in a corner, wrapped in a scarp of cotton rag… He tugged it out, jerked the cloth away impatiently and went numb all over with the shock of what he saw. There in his hand lay a gold goblet, he knew it must have been stolen from one of the great tombs in the City of the Dead. Ranofer also knew that in order to win his freedom he would have to prove that Gebu, his greedy half-brother, was the thief. The events that follow will surely excite the adventurous reader.
