Located on the west bank of the Nile, opposite Luxor, Egypt, Medinet Habu is the home of the Mortuary Temple of Ramesses III. In its mystical halls, the ancient Egyptian deities Anubis, Thoth, and Ammit gather to judge a single soul, weighing all that soul's deeds against the feather of Truth. Their pitiless tribunal is interrupted by Dr. Lawrence Miller, aka, The Shepherd. He is a guide of souls who patrols the Seam, that middle place between this life and whatever comes next. Can the Shepherd save this woman, or will she become fodder for the Devourer of Souls?
