Egypt is threatened by a mysterious blight as the Nile fails and famine spreads across the land. The wise and resourceful Taita is sent on a perilous quest to discover the source of the disaster, travelling beyond familiar borders into regions of danger, magic and political intrigue. Along the way he faces formidable enemies and encounters forces that challenge even his extraordinary abilities. Wilbur Smith blends action, romance and ancient-world adventure in a sweeping continuation of his Egyptian saga, driven by courage, loyalty and the struggle to save a civilisation.
