Description
When a priest dies in a mysterious fall from the top of a statue of Tutankhamun, many consider the death a fateful one for the boy-king and his reign. Indeed, the Hittites are already at Egypt's borders, and the enemies of the late pharaoh Akhenaten have transferred their implacable hatred to the young pharaoh. Lurking beneath the luxury of the court at Thebes lie malice, evil and murder. Not even Lord Meren - the 'eyes and ears' of Tutankhamun - can identify the plotters. But until the enemies of the fourteen-year-old pharaoh are destroyed, neither his body nor his soul is safe from their deadly poison...
