Buried the Night: War God

In the brutal Sand Sea Free Zone, Tariq, a despised laborer of the Falcon camp, is humiliated alongside his mother Amunet while his father Zayd, the captain, treats him coldly. Everything changes when Tariq receives a mysteriously heavy backpack linked to an ancient pre-dynastic tomb. As the Falcon Team and rival Looters race to break in, Tariq survives deadly trials—traps, quicksand, combat—proving knowledge and instinct beat strength. Family secrets surface: Amunet is more than a scavenger, Zayd's cruelty hides a purpose, and Carter has been testing him all along. To protect his mother and uncover his identity, Tariq must survive the final chamber, rising from disposable bait to the next legend of the Sand Sea.
