Why It's Your Next Read

  • Egyptian gods & time loops collide
  • Immortal sorcerers w/ seductive otherworldly power
  • Relentless chases through myth-soaked London & Cairo
  • Fate vs free will—morally gray obsessions

If Ayesha's immortal flame and the perilous Egyptian mysteries of She still haunt you, Powers delivers forbidden arcane wonder through time-bending gates where ancient gods stir and sorcerers wield magic as seductive and dangerous as any veiled queen. Here, Regency London bleeds into pharaonic darkness, and every twist unravels prophecies with the same breathless intensity that drove Holly and Leo through uncharted ruins—only now the labyrinth spans centuries.

...ancient gods stir and sorcerers wield magic as seductive and dangerous as any veiled queen.

Obsessive passions, morally ambiguous power plays, and supernatural entities that tempt as they terrify: this is mythic adventure for readers who crave philosophical depth wrapped in relentless, pulse-pounding pursuit. The melodrama burns without apology.

What Readers Are Saying

"The details and the plot and the funny bits are absolutely great. I love Dog-Face Joe, the body-switching werewolf, all the dirty streets of London, and practically every single enemy in the book." Bradley, Goodreads
"The Anubis Gates is really good as far as time travel stories go and features such diverse elements as magicians, body-swapping, ape men, two competing camps of beggars, and all kinds of other craziness that seem to be Tim Powers's bread and butter." Dan Schwent, Goodreads
"Complicated, chaotic time travelling riotous caper combined with sorcery from Egypt. There were some great ideas in here but the story as a whole was just too much." Emma, Goodreads
