![]() ![]() ![]() As missives from the faraway leader become increasingly irrational, including a demand to slaughter the hippopotamuses of Weset because "the noise of their bawling is in my august ears day and night," an indignant Seqenenra plans an insurrection with the help of his twin sons, Kamose and Si-Amun. Apepa is threatened by Seqenenra's royal lineage and mounts a campaign of harassment and humiliation. This volume opens with Seqenenra, Prince of Weset and descendant of the original rulers of Egypt, chafing under the reign of Apepa, Lord of Two Lands, who controls Upper and Lower Egypt capriciously from his seat of power in the Nile Delta. Launching a trilogy chronicling the struggles of an ancient Egyptian dynasty, veteran historical novelist Gedge (Lady of the Reeds) lays the groundwork for a saga steeped in intrigue and treachery. ![]()
