We follow a young Sheppard who journeys all the way to Egypt to follow his destiny. On his way, he meets a king, English man, his true love, and the alchemist. They all help him realise things about himself. (The rest you need to read yourself)

I really liked this book. It's surprisingly easy to read, and you don't need much to understand what's going on. I tabbed a lot of pages because of the quotes and messages that are good to remember. I would recommend this. It's only 170 pages long, so it's definitely worth the read.
