Ziva, only a small child, was abandoned by her parents on the streets of NYC.  Now, 15 years later, she has survived the orphanage and made a small, if poor, life for herself.  A chance encounter reveals Ziva’s true identity – the heir of Medjai powers and the only person alive who can complete the resurrection of an important Egyptian queen.  Pursued not only by Nazi’s but thwarted also by some actual gods, Ziva has a slim chance to survive.

If romantic magical books are still big sellers in your library, your students will also like this. The addition of actual gods being involved will pull in readers who still love Rick Riordan-like books.
