Two Pharaohs, Many Gods, One Kingdom—Who Wins?
Ruling Upper Egypt from Thebes, Pharaoh Sekenenre has many enemies. Aweserre, whose grandfather seized the crown of Lower Egypt. Kamose and Ahhotpe, his son and daughter, who plot to rule in his place. And, most dangerous, the storm-god Set.
It is a time of famine. To prosper a man must be civilized and ruthless. Ramose, priest and Vizier, is all of these. Kasa, a farmer, must learn to be like him to survive. Neith, wife of Ramose, is driven, first to drink, then to courage. Hathor, who killed her son, finds love, desertion, then a second chance at love. Tiyi, the gentle masseuse, is desired by many, but desires only one.
Watched by the gods of Egypt, the conflict reaches its climax in war. The pyramids, a thousand years old when the story begins, play a crucial part. Behind all is the God Set, with his question: 'What am I?'

I'm a historical romance author living in Yorkshire. My current books are set in medieval England, ancient Rome and ancient Egypt.
I do love a good Ancient Egypt story, and I suspect the gods are never going to make life straightforward for anyone! 😂 I’m particularly intrigued by that final question from Set. Now I want to know the answer…
ReplyDeleteOoh this sounds like my kind of book! I do love a bit of historical mystery, and the setting sounds really interesting. Adding this one to my ever growing TBR 😂
ReplyDeleteI do love getting lost in a good historical story, and this sounds like it could be right up my street. 😊

ReplyDeleteI like the sound of the history mixed in with the mystery. What made you choose this particular time period?
ReplyDeleteHistory and prehistory have always interested me. Ancient Egypt has a vast scope and timeline
