About this product

Product Information

Ex-slave. Philosopher. Chosen one. Taita has risen from nothing to become the most trusted man at the Pharaoh's side. Only he can plot a mission that will return Egypt to its former glory. Only he can muster the force that can break the back of Egypt's greatest enemy. On the banks of the Nile, a hero will rise. Across the lush plains of Egypt, Taita, a freed eunuch slave, wears his authority lightly. Not only is he the close advisor to the Pharaoh, but he is guardian to Pharaoh Tamose's two teenage sisters, the young beauties Tehuti and Bekatha. But the kingdom is not at peace. They have been fighting Southern Egypt's constant and historic enemy, the Hyksos people in the north, since time began. To finally crush them, Pharaoh must turn to his most trusted friend. Taita, philosopher, poet and expert strategist, has a plan that will see Egypt destroy the Hyksos army and form a coveted alliance with Crete in one move. This plan will take him, his expedition commander Zaras, and their mighty warriors on a perilous journey up the Nile, through Arabia to the magical city of Babylon, then across the open seas to Crete. The many dangers will cost lives and time, and they will meet battle and betrayal head on. But Taita must not forget his two charges, the spirited young princesses, whose attraction to the very warriors who lead the fight threatens Taita's meticulous plan and the future of Egypt itself.

  • Stories and history keep you spell bound.

    The stories are so good that you do not want to put the book down. All the Egypt series are great reads and follow on one to another you get to be part of the history getting to know the families and characters. Wilbur Smiths other series are also great reads.

  • Much easier to "get into" when compared to other novels in the Egyptian series. A satisfying read

    This book is as good as new with no pages having been "dog eared" by a lazy reader. The value is outstanding at 2.79 pounds compared with the RRP of 20.00 pounds. It looks very good on my bookshelf along with all the other Wilbur Smith titles that I own.
