What it’s about: A young Egyptian prince finds the bracelet of the gods. The bracelet ends up in the hands of a down-on-his-luck American who gives it to his girlfriend.

Excerpt: “The wheezing puffs of breath and sieve of sand spewing from beneath the giant’s boots were the single sounds heard, as his movement toward Cherinne was made in a blistering fury. Shaking her head, to eliminate the haze of cobwebs, she helplessly watched as he charged in her direction.
“YOU!!!” blasted from the belly of the raging giant; his word a mere sentence of death.”
