The Alchemists of Kush, Paperback

Two Sudanese "lost boys." Both fathers murdered during civil war. Both mothers forced into exile through lands where the only law was violence.

To survive, they became ruthless loners and child soldiers, before finding mystic mentors who transformed them to create their destinies. One, known to the streets as the Supreme Raptor.... The other, known to the Greeks as Horus, son of Osiris. Separated by seven thousand years, and connected by immortal truth.

Both born in fire. Both baptized in blood. Both brutalized by the wicked. Both sworn to transform the world, and themselves, by the power... of Alchemy.
