Summary:
Egypt through the eighteenth dynasty is peaceful and prosperous beneath the joint rule from the pharaohs Amenhotep III and IV-until the younger pharaoh begins to desire new and terrifying dreams.
Ptah-hotep, a young peasant boy studying to be always a scribe, wants to live a straightforward life in a hut around the Nile River along with his enthusiast Kheperren and their pet Wolf-until Amenhotep IV appoints him as royal scribe. How long will Ptah-hotep survive there, encircled by bitterly envious competitors and enemies?
The kid about Out of the Black Land princess Mutnodjme sees her beautiful sister Nefertiti married off towards the impotent young Amenhotep. But Nefertiti must bear royal children, so the ladies from the court devise a shocking plan.
Kheperren, meanwhile, acts as scribe towards the daring teenage general Horemheb. But as the pharaoh’s shrinking army guards the land from the Nile from opponents on every border, a far greater menace impends, for the newly renamed Akhnaten, not content with his own devotion to 1 god alone, plans to suppress the worship of all various other gods in the Dark Land.
People of his horrified court soon recognize that the pharaoh is not merely deformed but irretrievably mad which the biggest danger to the empire is at the royal palace itself.
