Five centuries after Ramses, the temples of northern Egypt lie deserted. the gods forgotten. Injustice and corruption reign, and the empire seems to hurtling towards irretrievable ruin.
Only one man, a Nubian, governing his kingdom from the South with wisdom and kindness, rejects this dark destiny. piankhy, ' the living one', the Black pharaoh, has one desire: that the gods should once again dwell in a united Egypt, nurtured by justice and love. But the price to pay is a heavy one for this man of peace: it means confronting the Libyan Tefnakt, an authoritarian, ambitious Northern prince, who is determined to restore order and reign in splendour - by forcing the country to submit to his yoke.
War between the Black Pharaoh and the Libyan prince is inevitable. And the survival of a thousand-year-old empire hangs on the victory of one of these two inflexible wills...Despite his own courage and his wife's magic, is the Black Pharaoh capable of achieving the impossible?
