My first book by this extremely talented author and it sure won't be my last!
A teenager on the great throne of Egypt is a dangerous thing. Tempted by debauchery, unbalanced by power, King Tut is being driven mad by the thought that the unavenged soul of his beloved foster mother Nefertiti wanders lost in eternity. He orders his advisor, Lord Meren, to find her killer and bring her peace. Linking up with the seductive female spy Anath, Meren sails upriver to interview the only remaining witness to Nefertiti's death. But a fanatical enemy, trying to stop the investigation, sets a terrifying trap for Meren's son and daughter. A titanic struggle between old gods and new has begun, and Meren's next move - to save his family or catch a killer - will have shattering consequences for this glittering world of palaces, temples and tombs.
