What the River Knows by Isabel Ibanez

The Mummy meets Death on the Nile in this lush, immersive historical
fantasy set in Egypt filled with adventure, a rivals-to-lovers romance,
and a dangerous race.
Bolivian-Argentinian Inez Olivera belongs to the glittering upper society of
nineteenth century Buenos Aires, and like the rest of the world, the town is
steeped in old world magic that's been largely left behind or forgotten. Inez
has everything a girl might want, except for the one thing she yearns the most:
her globetrotting parents - who frequently leave her behind.
When she receives word of their tragic deaths, Inez inherits their massive
fortune and a mysterious guardian, an archeologist in partnership with his
Egyptian brother-in-law. Yearning for answers, Inez sails to Cairo, bringing her
sketch pads and a golden ring her father sent to her for safekeeping before he
died. But upon her arrival, the old world magic tethered to the ring pulls her
down a path where she soon discovers there's more to her parent's
disappearance than what her guardian led her to believe.
With her guardian's infuriatingly handsome assistant thwarting her at every
turn, Inez must rely on ancient magic to uncover the truth about her parent's
disappearance - or risk becoming a pawn in a larger game that will kill her.
Expertly plotted, explosively adventurous, and burning with romance." -
