What the River Knows – Isabel Ibañez

What the River Knows is a lush, immersive historical fantasy by Isabel Ibañez, set partly on the banks of the Nile.
Inez Olivera, a Bolivian‑Argentinian heiress, comes from the glamorous high society of nineteenth-century Buenos Aires — but she’s deeply lonely and yearns for her often-absent, globe-trotting parents.
When she learns of her parents’ mysterious deaths, she inherits their fortune and a strange golden ring her father left her.
She sails to Cairo, only to discover that the ring is imbued with old-world magic.
Alongside her uncle’s charismatic assistant, Whitford “Whit” Hayes, Inez must unravel the truth about her parents’ fate — but the path is dangerous, filled with supernatural secrets, rivalries, and buried betrayals.
