Christian Jacq , author of the international triumphs Ramses and The Stone of Light , brings the people and passions of Ancient Egypt to life in an enthralling epic Novel in three volumes.
Without the courage and passion of Queen Ahhotep, the Valley of the Kings and the glorious treasures of the pharaohs, including Ramses the Great, would never have existed..
Combining historical fact with a vivid imagination, Christian Jacq tells the enthralling true story of this Ancient Egyptian warrior-heroine.
All by herself.
And so she decides to re-ignite the flame of Egyptian resistance.
Fierce, beautiful, and courageous, this girl whom history will call Egypt\'s Joan of Arc will never accept defeat.
She has an eighteen-year-old daughter, however: Ahhotep.
But Teti knows that her reign is limited, that it\'s only a matter of time before her men succumb to the barbarities of the cruel Hyksos.
Only the city of Thebes resists, protected by the widow of the last pharaoh, Teti the Small.
Known as the Hyksos, these leaders from foreign lands have reduced the country of the pharaohs to slavery.
An army of barbarians mounted on horse-drawn chariots has swept through the Empire, destroying everything in its path.
Egypt is a shadow of its former self.
