Neter-Tua, a princess marked for rule, must survive rival dynasties, priestly schemes and foreign ambition in Haggard’s imagined ancient Egypt. Her relationship with the warrior Rames and her claim to the throne place private loyalty inside a struggle over succession and sacred kingship.

The novel draws on the material and religious world of New Kingdom Egypt: temple ritual, royal burial, military prestige and the political authority of the pharaoh. Its rulers are fictional, but the setting is designed as a dynastic romance of the Eighteenth Dynasty.
