Mara is a proud and beautiful slave female who have yearns for independence in ancient Egypt, under the guideline of Queen Hatshepsut. Unlike other slaves, Mara can examine and write, as well as speak the vocabulary of Babylonian. So, to barter for her freedom, she discovers herself playing the dangerous role of a double spy for just two arch enemies–each of whom supports a contender for the throne of Egypt. Except, Mara finds herself falling in love with among her experts, the commendable Sheftu, and it is beginning to have confidence in his plans of repairing Thutmose III to the throne. But if her duplicity is normally discovered, a battle will surely start, in which both Mara’s life and the destiny of Egypt are in stake.
