Circa 1333 B.C., Egypt
The heretic pharaoh is dead. A queen holds the Two Lands, and the old gods claw their way back from the dark. In the north, a foreign empire tests the border. In the south, a desperate people, ground down by corruption, seethe.
Hapu has a new life. Once a tomb robber staring into death's maw, he now commands Egypt's armies, and his soldiers have begun whispering a new name for him—one a princess gave him in the dark, before the crown gave her to another man.
When riots, war, and ambitions that require a body start pulling the dynasty apart at the seams, it is Hapu the palace sends. Every victory buys him a little more of everything except her.
They will use him. They will never accept him.
But Hapu learned long ago to do whatever it takes to get what he wants.
The thrilling sequel to The Crimson Aten. A pulse-pounding ancient Egypt historical thriller of ambition, betrayal, and a love the crown forbade.
Genre: Historical
