About This Book

A historical adventure set in ancient Egypt follows a priest-poet and his small band as they travel toward Kadesh, facing skirmishes, hidden mountain paths, and a rain-swept night that leads them to a secret cave where they free a bound youth and uncover a treasonous plot that threatens the king; the narrative combines pursuit and rescue scenes with political intrigue, explorations of loyalty and betrayal, and vivid descriptions of terrain and daily survival during a military march.
