The Key To The Sands

Long ago after the fall of ancient Egypt, the world found itself relieved of the war and tyranny. But the city's secrets were not entirely lost. And its devastation led to great consequences. Eighteen years later, the grass lands had turned to sand and poverty had brought hardships among the people. Life had unexpectedly turned toward the worst. And for the trouble making nineteen year old named Roku, he couldn't see a life ahead of him that was worth while.
Then one day, a band of Egyptians come to his small town of Lori. They take Roku and his family hostage. They claim they need Roku and a mysterious key, his mother kept from him, to unlock the secrets of the lost city of Egypt. Among this chaos comes the revelation that he was adopted shortly after the war, and he is the actual son of the last Egyptian leader. But despite the Pharaoh blood, he is still a hostage held at knife point with unclear and possibly dreadful intentions. So as he and his family are forced onto this journey, they must come up with a plan to escape. But escaping proves to only be the beginning of their adventures.
