Summary:
Egypt during the eighteenth dynasty is peaceful and prosperous under the joint guideline of the pharaohs Amenhotep III and IV-until the younger pharaoh begins to wish new and terrifying dreams.
Ptah-hotep, a young peasant boy studying to be always a scribe, wants to live a simple life inside a hut in the Nile River with his lover Kheperren and their puppy Wolf-until Amenhotep IV appoints him as royal scribe. How lengthy will Ptah-hotep survive there, encircled by bitterly envious competitors and enemies?
The child about From the Dark Property princess Mutnodjme sees her beautiful sister Nefertiti married off to the impotent young Amenhotep. But Nefertiti must carry royal children, so the ladies from the court devise a surprising plan.
Kheperren, meanwhile, acts as scribe towards the daring teenage general Horemheb. But as the pharaoh’s shrinking military guards the land of the Nile from enemies on every boundary, a lot better menace impends, for the newly renamed Akhnaten, not really content with his own devotion to one god alone, programs to suppress the worship of most other gods in the Black Land.
People of his horrified courtroom soon realize that the pharaoh isn’t merely deformed but irretrievably mad which the biggest danger to the empire is within the royal palace itself.
