About this audiobook
The Final Stone is an intimate tragedy set during the completion of the Great Pyramid. Hemiunu, vizier and master architect to Pharaoh Khufu, has achieved the impossible: a monument aligned with the heavens, engineered to endure for eternity. But when an ancient rite is resurrected to sanctify the structure, his own son is chosen to be sealed within the King’s Chamber.
As celebration erupts across the plateau, Hemiunu stands beneath moonlight, alone against flawless limestone, calculating the chamber’s volume, the oil lamp’s burn, the finite measure of air. His genius becomes his torment. He knows exactly how long breath can last in darkness.
The pyramid will stand for ten thousand years.
He will never know when his son’s breathing stopped.
