The Quiet of the Grave...And a Nice Commemorative Plate

What's an ancient god of death to do in the modern world? Anubis, Egyptian Guardian of the Veil, has a problem—two runaway children. HIS children. His search for his beloved twins has brought him grief and worry and a trip to Minneapolis. He's meeting with an "artist" who churns out commemorative plates festooned with unicorns and puppies and TEDDY BEARS. Anubis HATES teddy bears. But the artist may lead him to his children. And like any modern father, Anubis would do anything for his children.
