This monumental novel of ancient Egypt is set during the turbulent reigns of the
Pharaoh Akhenaten and his successors, including Tutankhamon.

Egypt's long history has no more mysterious reign than that of Akhenaten, disciple of the One
God, the Aten. Akhenaten abolished the worship of all other gods in Egypt and built a city devoted
to the Aten, ruling for a decade of increasing civil unrest. Without a son of his own, he was forced
to accept his brother, Smenkhkare, as co-pharaoh.

The story unfolds through the eyes of Nofret, a slave girl, who comes to know more of the king and
of his city than most.
