With every bend in the river, the sibling's experiences and decisions can change the course of their destiny, leaving the reader eagerly anticipating what will happen next.

The story begins in modern times with Ben, a university student who embarks on an international flight to Cairo, Egypt to research the mysterious origin of the Great Sphinx of Giza. His curiosity about the world comes from stories told to him by his beloved grandma during his youth. Warm interactions between young Ben and his grandmother are interwoven with the prehistoric tale.

"Where the Nile Meets the Sea" is intended to inspire youth to spend more time outdoors as Geb and Lunah interact with nature, constellations, and the climate, and eventually battle characters who are one day revered as ancient Egyptian gods.

The novel's underlying themes are unveiled in a story-ending, circle-of-life twist. At its core, "Where the Nile Meets the Sea" explores the search for meaning in life and the preservation of Earth for future generations.

"Gunjaric's writing impresses with rich details, memorable scenes, and the symbolism she gives to natural elements, such as the North Star, a guiding landmark for the main characters. The novel offers an escape into a forgotten world, inviting us to reflect upon the connection between all humans and universal values that transcend time and space."
