<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Jacq breathed new life into ancient sagas with his blockbusters "The Stone of Light" and "Ramses." Now, with this first volume in an epic new series, he immerses fans in the real-life epic of Ahotep--the Queen whose courage gave birth to the splendor of the age of Ramses.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Christian Jacq, author of the international triumphs <i>Ramses</i> and <i>The Stone of Light</i>, brings the people and passions of ancient Egypt to life in an enthralling epic novel in three volumes. <br> Egypt is a shadow of its former self. An army of barbarians mounted on horse-drawn chariots has swept through the Empire, destroying everything in its path. Known as the Hyksos, these leaders from foreign lands have reduced the country of the pharaohs to slavery. Only the city of Thebes resists, protected by the widow of the last pharaoh, Teti the Small. 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. She has an eighteen-year-old daughter, however: Ahhotep. Fierce, beautiful, and courageous, this girl whom history will call Egypt's Joan of Arc will never accept defeat. And so she decides to re-ignite the flame of Egyptian resistance. All by herself. <br> Combining historical fact with a vivid imagination, Christian Jacq tells the enthralling true story of this Ancient Egyptian warrior-heroine. 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.
