Nefer the Silent

Nefer enters the hidden world of the Place of Truth, the community of artisans entrusted with work connected to the royal tombs. His silence, discipline and skill set him apart, but the village’s sacred role also makes it vulnerable to envy, secrecy and internal division. The novel opens the Stone of Light series by establishing Deir el-Medina as a closed society where craft, ritual and loyalty are matters of survival.
