Her dreams warn her of a blond-haired man who she will fall desperately in love with—and who will die by her own hand.

The Eye of Horus is almost within Ankhesenamun's grasp. She now knows it definitely exists and she even knows where it was hidden just a few years ago.

She was told she might crave its power for herself. She didn't take either warning seriously enough. Ankhesenamun will be tested until she breaks, and only then will the gods decide whether she is permitted to wield the Eye.
