Christmas Children Fiction

Born in fire and hammered into brilliance, the Golden Egg of Auletes once glittered in a pharaoh’s court—a treasure crafted for kings and meant for glory. Proud, polished, and certain of its destiny, the egg expected to be adored forever. It was wrong. Plucked from its pedestal and sent as tribute to Rome, the egg begins a journey it never desired: stolen by bandits, traded in shadowed dens, and passed from one rough hand to another. Far from palaces and incense, it tumbles through the bowels of a dark Eastern city, learning fear, indignity, and the sharp ache of being forgotten.
