The story of Ra-ab continues from Eyes of Horus.
The dawn for which the Watchers of the Horizon struggled has finally come. Egypt has been renewed under the rule of Pharaoh Amenemhet, and the old powers of fear and corruption appear to have been defeated. Yet victory proves only the beginning of a more difficult task.
Ra-ab, hero of the revolution that transformed Egypt, finds himself drawn into a new struggle when court intrigue threatens the future of the kingdom. At its center stands the young prince Senusert, heir to the throne, whose character and destiny may determine whether the hard-won gains of the new age endure or are lost. Entrusted with the prince's upbringing, Ra-ab must guide him through dangers both visible and unseen while confronting the lingering influence of forces determined to reclaim the future for themselves.
Against the magnificent backdrop of ancient Egypt, through the intertwined destinies of Ra-ab, Amenemhet, and Senusert, Joan Grant explores the difficult work of securing a fragile peace and preparing the next generation to inherit it.
