What the River Knows

Inez Olivera has grown up wanting for nothing except her globetrotting parents' presence — until word arrives of their deaths in Egypt, leaving her a fortune and a reluctant guardian she barely knows. Chasing answers to Cairo with her sketchbook and a ring her father entrusted to her, Inez discovers that old magic bound to the ring is pulling her toward a truth about her parents' disappearance that her guardian never intended her to find.

Set in nineteenth-century Buenos Aires and Cairo and steeped in old-world magic, Isabel Ibañez's Secrets of the Nile opener pairs a dangerous race against time with a rivals-to-lovers romance.
