Welcome to New Kingdom, Egypt. Everyone knows about Tutankhamun and the golden hoard that he was buried with. Or do we really know anything about a boy ruler, who never exercised power? What about his father the Heretic Pharaoh, Akhenaten who is credited with founding the world's first monotheistic religion 3,500 years ago? Or his beautiful major wife Nefertiti, believed to be the most desirable woman in the ancient world? Not to mention their predecessors and somewhat shady successors. Join Marsh boy Nakht, as he is drawn into a world of intrigue, politics and murder which are far removed from his humble upbringing in the Nile Delta. And find out how death could be swiftly inflicted on even the highest in the New Kingdom. All that gold not withstanding...
