Thu, the intelligent daughter of a village midwife, attracts the attention of the physician Hui and leaves Aswat to be trained in medicine, etiquette and the arts of the royal court. Her beauty and ambition eventually carry her into the household of Ramesses III, where access to the pharaoh promises influence but makes every private choice politically dangerous.
Thu becomes entangled with Queen Tiye and Prince Pentawer in the conspiracy to remove Ramesses and change the succession. What she first sees as a route to power becomes a system of surveillance, sexual bargaining and betrayal. The novel was published in the United States under the alternative title Lady of the Reeds.
