Egyptian Taharka, a very minor royal son, loves the study of medicine and healing and is thankful that he will never be Pharaoh, bound by regulations and rules. To his horror, when his father dies, the wand points to him as the next Pharaoh. As he quickly learns his duties and responsibilities, he realizes how much he despises this kind of life and longs to be free. Conspiracy abounds and it seems like the Assyrians are plotting to kill him. But is there a foe within his own court and family? He escapes with an Israelite, Amos, and meets two kings, Sennacherib, the Assyrian king and also Hezekiah, the king of Judah.
Very exciting and a great way to bring history alive!
*Highly recommend.
