What the River Knows by Isabel Ibañez
What the River Knows is a thrilling historical fantasy set in a version of 19th century Egypt where ancient magic exists. After her parents' deaths, the heroine, Inez Olivera, travels from Argentina to Egypt to discover what happened to them. Her last gift from her father was a golden ring, supposedly from the tomb of Cleopatra, with magic attached to it. Inez can sense the magic even after the ring is stolen from her, and she hopes it will lead her to Cleopatra's tomb. On the way, she meets Whit, her archaeologist uncle's assistant, and finds herself both annoyed by and attracted to him. They must work together to find the tomb, and what happened to Inez's parents.
