Det gamle Egypt. Et rike bygget på gull. Men nå ligger Kongenes dal herjet av krig og tappet for livsblod. Den idérike og talentfulle slaven Taita er historiens forteller, og han ser farao bare som et symbol for kongedømmets synkende makt og ære. Ved siden av ham står hans protesjeer; den vakre Lostris., Mester Intefs datter, og den stolte kriger Tanus, som sammen deler drømmen om å gjenreise det mektige riket og ikke minst, om å få hverandre. Men det skal ikke gå helt etter deres visjoner…

Kundevurdering:
This book deals with Egypt 4000 ago. But as typical of his novels, this one speeds along with great action and wonderful characters.
Taita, the brilliant eunuch slave who narrates the story, is an inspired creation. Larger than life while being, as a eunuch, somewhat removed from the passions that move many of the characters in the book, he is the perfect spectator/participant. He sees and understands everything and his inventions and interventions move the plot in unexpected ways. The book meanders a bit because it follows a whole life and its many turnings, but it is fascinating at every juncture. I highly recommend this book. It is intelligent, exciting, creative and memorable. What more could one want?
