A boy competes to win a sought-after illustrator's spot in King Tut's unbuilt tomb.

At the base of the Valley of the Kings in ancient Egypt lies a craftsmen's village. For centuries, its people have painted the tombs of kings. No outsiders have been allowed to join their ranks. But now, their ranks are dwindling. They desperately need an apprentice. On a nearby farm, Ramses is an orphan with a strange skill. He has a magic talent for catching the gods inside his drawings. He must fight to understand his frightening powers. He must struggle against the caretakers who refuse to let him enter the competition. He must challenge the ancient gods themselves to understand his destiny.
A magical, feel-good story about one boy's struggle to pursue his dreams.
