“The Ramses saga . . . is a must-read bestseller.” —Paris Match (France)

The might Pharaoh Ramses, after winning a major battle against the Hittites, turns to new intrigues aimed at his throne . . . and his heart. His boyhood friend Moses, back from exile, demands the Hebrews’ release. An evil mage is plotting to strike down Ramses’ first-born son. And lies are turning his concubine, Iset, against his beloved wife, Nefertari. Beset by troubles, Ramses sails for Abu Simbel to build a temple that will immortalize his union with Nefertari and unleash the magic of the goddess Hathar against his enemies. But loving deeply invites even deeper sorrow, as treachery and a god’s wrath rise like a desert storm to threaten what Ramses cherishes most . . .
