In a mysterious village deep in the mountainous desert of Upper Egypt, a handful of men jealously guards some of the most precious secrets of the Pharaohs. And the most fabulous of these is the Stone of Light... This village is called The Place of Truth. Dynasties of artists and craftsmen lived and worked there for some five centuries, from 1550BC to 1070BC, preparing for the eternal resting places of the reigning Pharaohs. In order to complete their demanding mission, they made use of the famous Stone of Light, which has the power to transform barley into gold, and matter into light. Christian Jacq has now retold this gripping adventure in this epic novel, told in four parts, where the destiny of the Pharaohs, the intrigues of courtesans, the genius of artists and the passions of men are drawn together in the name of art of the most exalted kind.

Who will triumph in this intense battle that determines Egypt's survival?

In sixteenth-century Peru, as Huayna Capac, king of the Incas, dies, he confides the mysteries of other worlds and the Inca Gods to Anamaya, daughter of an Incan princess. After his death she is the guardian of the Empire. But Anamaya cannot remember these secrets when Atahualpa, the king's chosen successor, asks for guidance. Although she knows they are within her, the only concrete reminder is the black puma spirit which prowls around her at night. In Spain, Francisco Pizarro has returned from his first voyage to Peru and seeks the king's permission to conquer this new land and be named its governor. When he sails, amongst the 180 men who accompany him is Gabriel Montelucar y Flores, a young nobleman who has escaped the clutches of the Inquisition. As the journey continues, first by sea and then overland in Peru, Gabriel will play a role he could never imagine, and become a linchpin both for Pizarro and Anamaya. Epic and unforgettable, it captures the Incas in all their splendour, savagery and spirituality - and the determination and ruthlessness of the Spanish conquistadors. And it is a classic novel of love across religious and cultural boundaries.

The latest intriguing thriller from one of historical fiction's best-known writers.
