In a second installment of the successful Ramses saga, Ramses, the new Pharaoh, must discover whom he can trust and along with his beautiful wife Nefertari, constructs an eternal temple while the despised Hittites storm Egypt's borders.
The powerful Hittites have declared war on Egypt, and Ramses must do the impossible: seize their impregnable fortress at Kadesh with his ragged army, even as his powerful bodyguard and right-hand man has been arrested, suspected of treason.
In the final novel in the bestselling series, Christian Jacq writes of the Hittite king who wants Ramses to marry his daughter, while revolt is brewing among the revenge-driven Libyans.
