This book is the first of a trilogy. It is set in the Second Intermediate period, at the end of the 17th dynasty. The trilodgy is the story of how the egyptians reclaimed Egypt from the Hyksos invaders.
This first book is the story of Sequenra Tao, prince of Weset, who can trace his family back to the last true king of Egypt.
When the Hyksos usurper, King Apepa, demands that sequenra impoverishes his family, the Taos are forced to make a decision which will change their fates and Egypt's history forever.
Choosing to fight rather than submit, Sequenra raises an armi and heads to a desperate battle on the plains of Egypt to reclaim his country. but battle is the least of the challenges he faces. From within his very own house, a traitor is waiting to strike.

This book tries to stick very closely to history, and without realising you are learning many true facts to do with Ancient Egypt.
