Three Jewels

Blurb:
Three Jewels, an erotic adventure set at the beginning of
Ancient Egypt's 3rd Dynasty, takes place in a land populated both by primitive
people taking their first steps toward civilization and by mythology. Evil
Set has risen in Nubia and turns his gaze upon the gleaming treasure that is
the Land of the Nile, and all he comes across fall under his spell. As
chaos threatens the very existence of Egypt, can Imhotep, King's Vizier, free
his sovereign and all those he cares about from the iron grip of this immortal
foe? And what of the task set for Imhotep by the First Queen of
Egypt? Can he select one wife from three innocent women, knowing
that the two he does not choose will be put to death?
Excerpt:
Imhotep's mind was awhirl as he left the King's chambers,
and this was not the first time in his life that his mind had raced along so
many roads at the same time. He was surprised when a gentle hand
interrupted his thoughts, though. Few would dare to interrupt the
king's vizier while he was concentrating, and he had often used this hallway
because few others ventured along it.
"Imhotep," purred Queen Nefetra, as she stepped
out from behind a column, her hand sliding across images of animal
sacrifices. She had changed clothes since Imhotep had spied her in
the throne room, and her new attire was made of the most shear fabrics and
lacked her normal ostentatious taste in jewellery, hiding no part of her from
his wandering eyes. "I had hoped to have a chance to talk with
you."
Imhotep bowed low. Then he stood straight. "I
am honoured, my Queen. How can I be of service to King Netjerikhet's
second wife?"
Her dark eyes flashed. Then, she smiled. "Have
I not always been nice to you, Imhotep? Nicer than cruel
Nebti?"
He stiffened. "Queen Hetephernebti has never
been cruel to me. I am honoured to serve so holy a family."
"You know what I speak of, Imhotep." She
walked slowly around him, but each warily kept their eyes on the other. "Look
at what she has subjected you to today. You must choose a
wife. Two innocent girls are to be put to death, because you choose
a third. And such lovely young women! How will that weigh
upon you when their heads roll free upon the cold stone floor or when their
limbs are twisted off by ravenous crocodiles? Is that really the
proper way to treat the king's vizier?"
"I am not privy to the plans of the king and
queen. One might as well ask to be privy to the thoughts of Ra, or
Horus."
"Oh, come now. A clever man such as you must
have come to some conclusions about what passes through the minds of your
masters." She stopped in front of him and crossed her arms
across her chest, lifting her breasts a little. She smelled of
exotic spices. "Three women to stay with you, one after the
other? You, who has always been too occupied to enjoy the pleasures
offered by my sex. She means to sap your vitality, Imhotep. She
means to make you weaker, to render you impotent. She fears your
connections with the king. Can you not see that?"
"I am loyal to the king."
She came closer and her breasts barely touched his
robes. She whispered, "Do you not see that we could be of
service to each other? Think on what might happen were my charms
coupled with your intellect." She leaned against him until he
could feel her breasts press the fabric of his robes against his chest. "We
might make a hot fire together, Imhotep, a fire that would sweep across this
land and leave a fertile soil in which we might plant our seed."
He took a step back, and suddenly remembered to breath.
"Think of what Egypt could be like, Imhotep. And
then come to me if you feel the need."
She gave him a sly smile, then slowly spun on her sandaled
feet and walked away. She did not look back.
Imhotep watched her go, then took several deep breaths and
was glad for the fact that his robes hung loosely over his body. Queen
Nefetra had spoken blasphemy about the king, but she had also awoken something
within Imhotep, at least temporarily.

In this retelling of the Cinderella story set around 3600
B.C., timid Issamun must cast off her life as a slave if she is to help stop
the resurrection of an ancient evil that threatens all of Egypt - and possibly
the world. As the family that owns her plans to use the supernatural
might of the fallen Set to overthrow the Pharaoh, Issamun must discover who she
is, what she seeks in life, and whether she would be wise to aid the brave
warrior who has come alone to put down the schemes of her masters. Is
it possible to resist the soul-numbing power of Set if he does
re-awaken? Is it possible to kill a god? And what horrors
will Issamun have to endure to save those whom she cares for? This
erotic fantasy-adventure takes the reader back to a time when mankind was just
beginning to carve out civilization from the wild and unfathomable chaos that
was the world. The world of Diamond in the Rough is one of
magic and mythology, of semi-civilized ancients and cruel
barbarians. This tale is a sequel to Three Jewels.
