After the murder of Egypt’s rulers, the priests crown Nakht pharaoh and force his elder sister Merit to become his queen. To end famine and restore the Nile, they demand the siblings conceive a pure-blooded heir.

For Merit, it is a nightmare—her grief twisted into shame, her body claimed in the name of faith. But for Nakht, the command awakens something darker. Behind his silence, he hides a truth he has carried for years: he has never looked at his sister as just family.

As rituals turn into nights of temptation, the young pharaoh stops fighting what he has always wanted. Every touch lingers too long, every word blurs duty and desire. And while Merit struggles to resist the union forced upon them, Nakht embraces it—because for him, the gods have only given permission to pursue the forbidden craving he has never dared confess.
