A magnificent new trilogy set in 17th century BC.
Egypt is a shadow of its former self. An army of barbarians has swept through the Empire, destroying everything in its path. Known as the Hyksos, the invaders have reduced the land of the pharaohs to slavery.
Only one city resists: Thebes, where the widow of the last pharaoh, Teti the Small, still reigns. And Teti knows it's only a matter of time before her men succumb to the cruelty of the Hyksos.
But Teti has a daughter, Ahhotep. Fierce, beautiful and courageous, Ahotep will never accept defeat. And so she decides to re-light the flame of Egyptian resistance - all by herself!
