This novel traces the life and achievements of perhaps the most glorious of the rulers of ancient Egypt – Rameses 11. We first encounter him as a young man, destined to become ruler of the Upper and Lower Lands of Egypt and follow his progress as he establishes himself as Pharaoh. We witness his military shrewdness in action, see the great affection which he had for his Great Royal Wife, Queen Nefertari and follow his masterly building projects which have provided us with an amazing number of statues and temples, perhaps the most impressive being his mortuary temple at Abu Simbel. We glimpse times of great personal sorrow and moments of jubilant triumph until eventually his incredibly long life draws to a close, leaving behind some of the most distinctive of buildings that sum up the true spirit of ancient Egypt.
