‘The Scribe’ is a collection of twelve letters included in ‘The Archivist’ and is part of 'The Lost Spells of Egypt' series.
Sepedet, a would be scribe, has kept secrets from her son, Ahmose. Now that he has been summoned to the temple of Amun in Thebes to begin his studies, she decides to tell him about the tragic events of the past, including the demise of her father, an archivist. She writes Ahmose a letter, one for every month of his absence. Sepedet believes that her letters will help her son find his rightful place in Thebes, but what she does not know, is that she is sending him into danger.
