Here you can listen to the Book 1 of the Nephilim Quest series. The audio chapter is free to listen, the actual written chapter is for paid subscribers (monthly 5$, or yearly 50$) subscription. (Writing and self-publishing my books is not cheap - I pay a professional editor, proofreader and cover designer, so every subscription helps me tremendously.)

Nephilim Quest 1 Shadowhunter. Chapter 6 / Going Forth by Day
Oh my heart which I had from my mother!
Oh my heart which I had from my mother!
Oh my heart of my different ages!
Do not stand up as a witness against me, do not be opposed to me in the tribunal,
do not be hostile to me in the presence of the Keeper of the Balance,
For you are my ka which was in my body, the protector who made my members hale.
Go forth to the happy place whereto we speed;
do not make my name stink to the Entourage who make men.
do not tell lies about me in the presence of the god;
It is indeed well that you should hear!
-Book of the Dead
I am now sitting in a tent that has been raised for me right next to wabt net wet, the place of embalming, where mother, true of voice, shall have her body prepared to be the home for her ka and ba so that her light soul, akh, can become a child of Nut and spend eternity with the northern stars.
There is no question in my mind that mother was murdered, and I know exactly who did this - I recognised the signs in her body. I curse my sister. People speak in whispers of a new monster, Ammit, that will eat the hearts that are not pure, when people reach the last judgment. I know my sister's heart is heavy with the thoughts of evil deeds, and I know my curse will reach her. May Ammit devour her heart, and may her soul be restless forever more, never finding peace again. May it die a second death and be forgotten for all eternity.
