Product Description
Product Description
Egypt. C17th BC. An army of barbarians has swept through the Empire, destroying everything in its path. Known as the Hyksos, the 'leaders from foreign lands', the invaders have reduced the land of the pharaohs to slavery. Only one woman resists. Fierce, beautiful and courageous, the daughter of the last pharaoh, Ahhotep, refuses to accept defeat. Not far from Thebes, the only city which retains its independence, she establishes a secret military base, training the soldiers who will one day set her country free. Heading an increasingly powerful army, Ahhotep prepares the Egyptians for the final, fateful battle. After a hundred years of occupation and thousands of violent deaths, it looks as though, at last, the Egyptian empire will rise again from the ashes - all thanks to the courage and determination of a woman.

If you have read his other trilogy, you must read this. It's just as good - again a real page turner. Even better than Wilbur Smith's series.
