Desert God

Product Description

Ex-slave. Philosopher. Chosen one. Taita has risen from nothing to become the most trusted man at the Pharaoh`s side. Only he can plot a mission that will return Egypt to its former glory. Only he can muster the force that can break the back of Egypt`s greatest enemy. On the banks of the Nile, a hero will rise. Across the lush plains of Egypt, Taita, a freed eunuch slave, wears his authority lightly. Not only is he the close advisor to the Pharaoh, but he is guardian to Pharaoh Tamose`s two teenage sisters, the young beauties Tehuti & Bekatha. But the kingdom is not at peace. They have been fighting Southern Egypt`s constant & historic enemy, the Hyksos people in the north, since time began. To finally crush them, Pharaoh must turn to his most trusted friend. Taita, philosopher, poet & expert strategist, has a plan that will see Egypt destroy the Hyksos army & form a coveted alliance with Crete in one move. This plan will take him, his expedition commander Zaras, & their mighty warriors on a perilous journey up the Nile, through Arabia to the magical city of Babylon, then across the open seas to Crete. The many dangers will cost lives & time, & they will meet battle & betrayal head on. But Taita must not forget his two charges, the spirited young princesses, whose attraction to the very warriors who lead the fight threatens Taita`s meticulous plan & the future of Egypt itself.
