Djoser
Description
When Djoser takes the throne of the Two Lands, Egypt is newly united but far from stable. As the successor to a strong but contentious legacy, he must prove himself worthy--not only to his court, but to a people still recovering from civil war.
With internal divisions threatening to splinter the kingdom and external enemies watching closely, Djoser relies on a handful of trusted advisors--and his own strength of will--to navigate the fragile balance of power. Under his reign, the concept of the pyramid begins to take form, setting in motion a revolution in royal tomb building that will define Egypt for centuries.
Grounded in historical research and rich in cultural detail, Djoser opens The Pyramid Builders series with a compelling portrait of one of Egypt's earliest and most influential kings.
