The Field of Reeds: A Journey Through the Underworld

The Field of Reeds: A Journey Through the Underworld

Where the living meet the dead, every step tests the heart.

Category: Mythic Fiction

Set under the glow of the Egyptian moon and the whispering reeds of the Nile, The Field of Reeds: A Journey Through the Underworld reimagines one of humanity’s oldest myths through the eyes of a storyteller and her wide‑eyed listeners. On the banks of the river, the wise Amira gathers children around the fire and unveils the soul’s passage through the Duat, the sacred Egyptian underworld, where travelers must confront their truth before reaching peace.

Through eleven chapters, readers follow a newly departed soul as it faces the ancient gates of trial: guardians of fire, serpents of wisdom, and the divine scales of judgment. Guided by the wisdom of gods and ancestors, this tale blends myth and reflection into a meditation on courage, forgiveness, and the eternal cycle of rebirth.

Each page flows like a legend rediscovered: poetic, symbolic, and rich with sensory atmosphere. Blending the timeless cadence of oral storytelling with the spiritual depth of Egyptian afterlife myth, The Field of Reeds invites readers, young and old, to see death not as an ending, but as a journey to awakening.

Perfect for readers who love:

• Mythic journeys and reimagined folklore
• Reflective tales of the afterlife and transformation
• Lyrical, timeless storytelling for both adults and mature young readers

Themes: Rebirth, truth, justice, courage, forgiveness, and the continuity between the living and the ancestral world.

A luminous blend of Egyptian mythology and human insight, The Field of Reeds is a guide for the heart.
