Summary: In ancient Egypt during the magnificent eighteenth dynasty the Pharaoh Akhenaten and his queen, the strong and beautiful Nefertiti, are engaged in a dramatic battle against the wealthy, corrupt and dangerously powerful priests of Amun. Haunting and full of surprises, "Akhenaten: Son of the Sun" gives a fascinating glimpse into an ancient civilisation. It is a story about hate and love, despair and hope, but more than that it is the story of extraordinary spiritual and psychic powers being tested to their limits.
"I tell you this three millennia
after these events took place.
Mark them well.
They did not end with my death,
and they will not end with yours."

"Akhenaten: Son of the Sun" is part of Moyra Caldecott's acclaimed Egyptian sequence, which also includes "Hatshepsut: Daughter of Amun" and "Tutankhamun and the Daughter of Ra". Chronologically, "Akhenaten: Son of the Sun" comes between the other two books in the sequence, but was written first. |
