Description
Wilbur Smith's Pharaoh is a gripping tale of ancient Egypt's darkest hour. As the old Pharaoh Tamose lies mortally wounded, the city of Luxor is surrounded by enemies. Taita, a former slave turned general, leads his men to victory, but his return to the palace is met with betrayal and treachery.
A new Pharaoh, Utteric, has risen to power, and Taita's influence is a threat to his rule. Taita's friendship with Utteric's brother, Rameses, adds to the tension, as Rameses is torn between loyalty to his family and his friendship with Taita. As the situation spirals out of control, Taita must navigate the treacherous world of the palace to reclaim Egypt and bring down the ruthless Pharaoh Utteric.
This is a story of power, loyalty, and the struggle for survival in ancient Egypt, where the fate of a nation hangs in the balance.
