The world could be hers. After leaving her native Ireland nearly a decade ago on her sixteenth birthday, Aisling has traveled the world in pursuit of one goal: Make her own destiny, on her terms, and become known as the greatest fiddler in the world in the process. Now, in Cairo, at an impromptu party at the pyramids, a man shows up and offers her the world? as long as she earns it. If only her past hadn't turned up too. A grumpy camel. A talking Sphinx. And a crossroads where a young woman must choose which destiny she will make her own. If you like decisive women heroes, then grab your fiddle and get ready for a "Party at the Pyramids." The Rucksack Universe series combines alternate history, speculative fiction, myth, adventure, globetrotting, and intrigue-all with well-poured pints of beer. Library Journal says Anthony St. Clair's storytelling has "universe building reminiscent of Terry Pratchett," and readers say they love the Rucksack Universe's unique combination of "quirk, wit, travel, and magic."
