Publisher's Synopsis
1184 BCE. Future pharaoh Ramesses III has returned home from war to a palace that is even more dangerous than a battleground - full of threats, conspiracies, and apparent betrayals among his own family.
Ray is being hunted by the police and foreign assassins after being framed for murdering one of the princes. While searching the great city of Thebes for the missing princess Tentopet, who is now in hiding as a dancer, Ray learns that his foster father has been arrested for tomb robbing and may be executed unless Ray can rescue him.
The tense hunt for Ray and Bull, the oldest son of Ramesses, continues through the great House of Death in Thebes and across the vast western desert to the dreaded copper mines of Timna, where few captives survive in the dark and airless tunnels.
An Ancient Egyptian epic adventure thriller for fans of Wilbur Smith, Christian Jacq, Colin Falconer, Michelle Moran, and Robert Harris.
