Historische Romane von Zabern: Die Toten kehren wieder mit dem Wind

More about the book

In 1362 B.C. Egypt, Horemheb, a ten-year-old son of a poor tenant, is forcibly taken from his family and sold to the pharaoh's army. However, he is fortunate to gain the favor of the ruler's daughter-in-law and is accepted into the royal court. This marks the beginning of a remarkable and dramatic career in Ancient Egypt. Horemheb's ascent through the ranks is fraught with intrigue, conspiracy, love, envy, and betrayal. He witnesses the reign of Akhenaton and Nefertiti, and under Tutankhamun, he unexpectedly rises to become the highest general of the army. As his journey unfolds, the Throne of Egypt seems tantalizingly within reach.
