Descrição
A thrilling new instalment in Wilbur Smith's beloved Egyptian series
This sixth book in the Egyptian series continues the story of the wise and gifted Eunuch slave Taita, his proteges - Lostris, daughter of Lord Intef, and Tanus, the proud young army officer, whose father was betrayed by Lord Intef - as they act on their dream to restore the majesty of the Pharaoh of Pharaohs on the glittering banks of the Nile.
A glorious civilisation. An epic journey. A heroic battle. An enduring love. Here is a magnificent, richly imagined saga that explodes with all the drama, mystery and rage of a bygone time.
PRAISE FOR WILBUR SMITH'S EGYPTIAN SERIES
"The brutality of life in ancient times is everywhere evident in Taita's tale, which involves fatal intrigue at every turn. It's clear Smith knows his subject: his graphic depiction of lust, bloodletting, politics, and, in Taita's case, honor is firmly grounded in rich details that evoke the period" Booklist
"Brightly colored, sweeping escapism" Kirkus Reviews
"A rich, compelling look back in time [to] when history and myth intermingled" San Francisco Chronicle
"A grand tale of intrigue, deception, true love and exile" Denver Post
