Secret of the Sands is an adventure novel that is like adding a little dash of Indiana Jones meets the Mummy meets National Treasure, with a sci-fi element. It is an historical/alternative history/adventure novel that explores the mysteries of Ancient Egypt & the Great Sphinx of Giza. It has a double storyline, the past & present intertwine as each sheds more light on the other, one could not exist, or be known, without the other. We hear many comments from readers & reviewers that they love the concept, style of the book, with its intertwining timelines.

Who can read it?!: Secret of the Sands is suitable for kids & adults, anyone ages 12 & up. It's got the fun, silly, light-hearted aspects of movies like The Mummy and Indiana Jones series, paired with deep, underlying meaning & messages...Our intent in writing the story was to make it accessible to a wide audience, in the same way our favorite stories & movies are. If your kids liked Harry Potter - then they can certainly read our story. We hope you enjoy the story as much as we enjoyed writing it & we would love to hear back from you on it!


"A deep probing mystery riddled with prophecy and danger, Secret of the Sands uses Egypt and her mythology as a backdrop to delve into the meanings of life and religion." -McNally Robinson

"Rai Aren and Tavius E. have crafted a fast-paced, exciting novel overflowing with mystery and intrigue. The tension is constant. The characters fully developed. And the plot gripping. Ancient history and present day relevance are so expertly intertwined, that you might forget you are reading a work of fiction." -- Thomas Phillips, author of The Molech Prophecy
