A ruthless trafficker hunting a sacred relic. A race against collapsing stone, rising river waters, and deadly shadows to protect an ancient record of human survival.\u003cb data-start-index=\"542\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt an Egyptian field site, papyrologist Dr Samara Wells finds a concealed hieratic inscription beneath ordinary Ptolemaic estate records. It points to a lost flood sanctuary along the upper Nile, sealed by a ceremonial crescent mark and reachable only when the river retreats. Before sunrise, armed raiders attack the archive tent. An international antiquities trafficking network is after the same discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo reach the sanctuary first, Samara joins forces with Khalid Bahri, a river pilot and former illicit cargo runner who knows the Nile's unmapped secondary channels. Researcher Nisma el-Tayeb's field archives and Nubian oral historian Ustaza Nura Idris's memories guide them through cataracts and hidden rock passages between Aswan and Wadi Halfa. Night ambushes and collapsing mudbanks make every mile count.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Crescent of the Nile, also called the Moon Key, is no immortality relic. It is a precision electrum tool engineered during the Third Intermediate Period, the key to an ancient water-balance mechanism. Beyond it lie sanctuaries preserving flood measurements, famine survival strategies, medicinal plant inventories and healing genealogies: records held by the river communities for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen antiquities trafficker Nabil Farouk forces the lock without the hieratic release sequence, the mechanism begins to fail. The chamber could flood and collapse, destroying its records. With a 48-hour UNESCO legal window closing and battles unfolding on corporate donor barges, Samara and Khalid must return the Crescent to its socket and keep this history in the hands of the communities that preserved it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan they protect the Moon Key and the Nile's living memory before the sanctuary is lost?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCrescent of the Nile\u003c\/em\u003e is Book 19 in Cora Price's Heart \u0026amp; Treasure series, an archaeological adventure set along the upper Nile.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Silver Gravity Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":50411705401622,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":50411705303318,"sku":null,"price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50411705336086,"sku":null,"price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio","offer_id":50411705368854,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/3041\/3334\/files\/BookBrushImage-2026-4-24-18-4035.png?v=1777052649","url":"https:\/\/www.silvergravitybooks.com\/products\/crescent-of-the-nile-heart-and-treasure-book-19","provider":"Silver Gravity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
