Pharaoh Tamose lies mortally wounded. The ancient city of Luxor is surrounded, All seems lost. Taita prepares for the enemys final, fatal push. The ex-slave, now general of Tamoses armies, is never more ingenious than when all hope is dashed. And this is Egypts most desperate hour. With the timely arrival of an old ally, the tide is turned and the Egyptian army feasts upon its retreating foe. But upon his victorious return to Luxor, Taita is seized and branded a traitor. Tamose is dead and a poisonous new era has begun. The new Pharaoh has risen. Pharaoh Utteric is young, weak and cruel, and threatened by Taitas influence within the palace  especially his friendship with Utterics younger and worthier brother, Ramases. With Taitas imprisonment, Ramases is forced to make a choice: help Taita escape and forsake his brother, or remain silent and condone Utterics tyranny. To a good man like Ramases, there is no choice. Taita must be set free, Utteric must be stopped and Egypt must be reclaimed. From the glittering temples of Luxor to the Citadel of Sparta, PHARAOH is an intense and powerful novel magnificently transporting you to a time .
