‘Brilliant… I loved it.’ Santa Montefiore

A FORGOTTEN EGYPTIAN GODDESS. A FAMILY IN DANGER.

Victorian Egyptologist Clemmie’s dark talents have torn her family apart. Now she has one chance to atone for the past.

Clemmie’s gift for reading hieroglyphs shines at the Egyptian relic parties which have made her father the toast of Victorian society. But at one party, the words she interprets from an unusual amulet strike fear into her heart. The childhood game she used to play about the immortal sisters, Isis and Nephthys, takes on a devastating resonance and it is only by following Nephthys' story back to Egypt that she can undo the mistakes of the past.

‘An irresistible page-turner’ Susan Stokes-Chapman, author Pandora
‘An intoxicating tale of adventure and obsession’ Emilia Hart, author of Weyward
‘A joy of a book’ Fiza Saeed McLynn, author of The Midnight Carousel

*SHORTLISTED FOR THE HWA DEBUT CROWN AWARD*

Readers ADORE Nephthys:

‘A total page-turner! ... Wow! What darkness this book holds!’
‘Unique and gripping.... this tale of Egypt and England was full of twists and turns.’
‘A captivating blend of Victorian society, ancient Egypt, and dark secrets.’

Rachel Louise Driscoll won the Curtis Brown Creative scholarship in 2020. Originally from the South West, she lives in the North East with her husband and cat, Cleopatra. The Spider and the Lily is her second novel, after her Egypt-set debut Nephthys.
