Description

The novel, written by an Egyptologist scholar, tells about the life and adventures of ancient Egyptians. At the center of events is a palace conspiracy and the intrigues connected with it. The main characters— the daughter of Pharaoh Ramses II and the priest and poet Pentaur—try to stand against the expansionist intentions of the chief vizier.

Between them arises a lofty and pure feeling. They are helped by the warrior’s daughter, a foreigner named Urda, into whom Prince Ramery falls in love.

The heroes’ path is thorny, but love and loyalty must win.

In addition, the author introduces the reader to the traditions of the era and immerses them in the atmosphere of the ancient world. At the same time, the characters belong to the described epoch yet feel very close to the reader: you want to worry about them. Love and intrigue against the background of detailed—but not overly drawn-out—descriptions of everyday life and customs of the time make this novel not only instructive, but also engaging. It is a wonderful historical novel worthy of the reader’s attention.
