by Ryan Pope

Overview

Thebes stands as one of the greatest cities in the known world, a place of architectural magnificence, riches beyond counting and power beyond measure. But all is not well within the grand temples of Karnak. The priests of Amun stand divided, some wishing to remain loyal to their absent Pharaoh Takelot, while others wish to carve another path.The Crag of Amun, Great of Roaring, is a fortress restored to its former glory, but within its towering walls Prince Osorkon is discontent.

A family tragedy at his own hands breaks apart the fragile peace of Herakleopolis and threatens to undo the war effort before it has truly begun. As brother fights brother, the armies of Tanis march inexorably south.In Thebes, Osorkon’s sister, the Princess Isetweret watches in growing horror as the storm breaks over her city. The actions of a renegade priest loose a danger from beyond distant Nubia that will change the nature of the war forever.
