Perfect for you if...

You love Wilbur Smith's brand of historical adventure with magic, mythology, and high stakes woven through real ancient history.
You want epic fantasy grounded in actual civilisations, where the magic feels earned and the politics feel dangerous.
You're after a series you can sink into, with characters who grow across books and a world that expands with each instalment.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer intimate character studies or quiet literary fiction. This is spectacle and adventure, not introspection.
You're looking for romance as the primary plot. There's romance here, but it's secondary to the quest and the conflict.
You want standalone novels. This is book three in a sequence and builds on what came before.

About this book

An epic novel set in Ancient Egypt following the reunification of the two kingdoms under the true Pharaoh. Though the Hyksos have been overthrown, Egypt remains unstable, with the Pharaoh's rule threatened by those seeking to exploit the turmoil. Taita the Magus calls upon his protégé, Piay, to solve an ancient riddle with the power to secure Egypt's future and keep the kingdom united. However, followers of Seth, the god of chaos, have grown stronger in the chaos of war. These malevolent forces are determined to claim the riddle's power and bring about an age of darkness. Piay must prevent Egypt from falling under their control. This is the third book in The New Kingdom Sequence.
