Crown of the Nile: Reclaiming the Two Lands

In 671 BCE, Egypt bows under the iron grip of Assyria—its kings reduced to puppets, its people crushed by hunger and fear.

Prince and General Psamtik has lost his father, his throne, and his homeland. But surrender was never in his nature. With his loyal brother Khaem, the cunning priest Nikarud, and the fearless Greek priestess Arymene, Psamtik sets out to raise an army, forge dangerous alliances, and challenge the most ruthless empire of the ancient world.

From the streets of occupied Memphis to the courts of Lydia, from treacherous desert oases to the blood-soaked walls of Thebes, Psamtik’s journey will test his courage, his honor, and his heart. Battles will be won and lost, friends betrayed and redeemed—and every step will bring him closer to the ultimate choice: reclaim Egypt’s freedom or die in the attempt.

Rich with political intrigue, brutal warfare, and love, Crown of the Nile: Reclaiming the Two Lands is a sweeping historical epic for readers of Conn Iggulden and Bernard Cornwell—a story of resilience, destiny, and the unbreakable will of a man who would be Pharaoh.
