Description

A band of mercenaries embark on a perilous quest to plunder the tomb of Egypt's notorious pharaoh. In 701 BCE, Assyria lays siege to Jerusalem, and the Kushite mercenaries, known as the Desert Mice, launch an audacious raid to drive the Assyrians back. Their mission is soon derailed when they are cheated out of their payment, forcing them to turn to plundering the dead. As they cross into ancient Egypt, they become embroiled in a treacherous power struggle and attract the attention of a wrathful foreign king. Pursued by scheming nobles and a malevolent torturer, the Desert Mice must navigate the treacherous landscape of the Nile Valley. Their journey takes them to the Valley of the Kings, where they will face deadly enemies and solve ancient riddles in a desperate bid for survival.
