Summary
Global bestselling author of River God and The New Kingdom, Wilbur Smith, returns with the next epic book in his brand-new Ancient Egyptian series.

FROM THE RUINS OF BATTLE
A HERO MUST RISE
FOR THE GLORY OF EGYPT

Years of Hyksos rule have seen the plunder of once-mighty Egypt. Though the two kingdoms have now been reunited by the armies of the true Pharaoh, his position is perilous, his rule under threat from those who seek to take advantage of the turmoil created by the overthrow of the Hyksos. Desperate to keep Egypt united, Taita the Magus summons his protégé, Piay, to solve a millennia-old riddle which has the power to secure Egypt's future forever.

But in the tumult of war, an evil has thrived. Malevolent followers of Seth, the god of chaos, are determined to claim this power and usher in a new age of darkness.

The fate of Egypt is at stake. Can Piay prevent their land falling into the hands of those who would see its ruin?

This book isn’t written by Wilbur Smith, it’s closer to hitchhikers guide to the galaxy than river god, I enjoyed it but not what I paid for.

Interesting

WHY does Audible refuse to insert chapters in some books?! So annoying and makes me not want to bother listening to the book because I can never keep my bloody place. Seriously its over 20 hours with not a single chapter! Please stop doing this. It really makes the listening experience significantly less enjoyable and incredibly frustrating.

Great book of course but no chapters by Audible

Another great story by both Wilbur and Mark. Very different to the Courtney or Ballentine series with a lot more mystasism and magic 🪄 and Egyptian mythology.

Slightly different to the deep character insights a Wilbur Smith fan is accustomed too and I've been spoilt by Taita's character but all in all, a great book.

Eager to enjoy the next book where I hope Taita, Hanu and Pei's story continues.

Great Egyptian adventure and mythological mystery

Couple of times it seems like that it was waffling along with no story relevance but over all enjoyed can’t wait for the next one

Awsome
