Global bestselling author of River God and The New Kingdom, Wilbur Smith, returns with the next epic book in his brand-new Ancient Egyptian series.

FROM THE RUINS OF BATTLE
A HERO MUST RISE
FOR THE GLORY OF EGYPT

Years of Hyksos rule have seen the plunder of once-mighty Egypt. Though the two kingdoms have now been reunited by the armies of the true Pharaoh, his position is perilous, his rule under threat from those who seek to take advantage of the turmoil created by the overthrow of the Hyksos. Desperate to keep Egypt united, Taita the Magus summons his protégé, Piay, to solve a millennia-old riddle which has the power to secure Egypt's future forever.

But in the tumult of war, an evil has thrived. Malevolent followers of Seth, the god of chaos, are determined to claim this power and usher in a new age of darkness.

The fate of Egypt is at stake. Can Piay prevent their land falling into the hands of those who would see its ruin?©2023 Wilbur Smith and Mark Chadbourn (P)2023 Bonnier Books UK

Typical Wilbur Smith. Spellbinding!

although Thi Hiti does not feature as much in this story, it compliments the Egyptian series very well. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Not Quite Wilbur

As I progressed chapter after chapter it is quite notable that this is not Wilbur's style. I did not mind the read, however I must note that there will be no more reading in this series. I miss Taita in this book. Still good to read, but a little boring without the Magus.
