In the third installment in The Shadow Prince saga, Ash and his friends race against time to save Egypt, again. This time it's to stop a war with Kush and its raging, roaring, lion-headed god Apedemak.
It takes Ash some convincing--since heroes get tired!--for Princess Sia to enlist him and his friends on a dangerous new quest. Sia believes Prince Rami is being held against his will by Lord Set, the mischievous Egyptian god of chaos. Does she really expect them to go outside of Egypt? All the way to Kush? Besides, didn't Prince Rami betray them and his family?
Across the border, the kids discover things are worse than they imagined. Lord Set has convinced Apedemak, Kush's powerful lion god of war, to gather his massive army of the living and dead to invade Egypt.
The odds do not look good for Ash and his friends, but Team Shadow Prince may have a chance when they meet a boy who wields a strange Kushite magic channeled through henna tattoos on his skin.
Will Ash and his friends stand a chance against the mighty rage of lions that threatens all of Egypt? Or will Lord Set's deadly plan finally bring Egypt to its knees?
