In book II, we pick up where book Book I left off - at the end of Pharaoh Ay's reign. This novel is ridiculously historically accurate and includes an end matter feature that details what did and didn't really happen (at least as far as historians believe). "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. Yet, with those closest to him being sacrificed in the process and the tide continuing to rise against them, how far is King Mursili prepared to go to see the prophecy fulfilled? His only hope to restore his own Hittite Kingdom to greatness was to restore the Amarna line to power in Egypt, to atone for the sins of his father. The fate of the Hittite Kingdom was linked to that of Egypt. These are the questions King Mursili II has had to ask himself every day since his 13th year - the year the gift of prophecy had awakened within him, the year Queen Ankhesenamun's slave Ida had come to his father's court begging for one of Mursili's brothers to marry the queen and save the throne of Egypt.ĭespite the unfortunate turn of events - his brother's murder and the fall of Queen Ankhesenamun, the gods had been quite clear. How far are you willing to go? How much are you willing to sacrifice? THIS EDITION FEATURES 18 PT VERDANA & 1.5 SPACING.Ĭan a slave girl & a boy prince change the course of both Egyptian & Hittite history?
