The deaths of Seqenenre and Kamose leave the young Ahmose responsible for completing the war against the Hyksos. Before he can attack the enemy capital of Avaris, he must recover from his wounds, secure the loyalty of his commanders and find a way through defences that direct assault cannot overcome.

Apepi uses intrigue as well as military force to divide the Tao family and preserve his kingdom. Ahmose’s final campaign joins siege warfare to dynastic survival, culminating in the expulsion of the Hyksos and the emergence of a reunited Egypt under the Eighteenth Dynasty.
