Prepare yourself for an exhilarating journey back to the heart of ancient Egypt. Experience a world transformed by the unexpected ascension of a mere six-year-old boy, Prince Amenhotep IV, to the illustrious throne of Pharaoh, after the sudden death of his beloved elder brother.
Ten years later, Egypt is a realm vastly altered, shadowed by the menacing corruption and power of the opulent Amun priesthood. Undeterred, Amenhotep IV, now known as Akhenaten, fearlessly instigates a religious rebellion that promises to forever reshape the trajectory of his kingdom and draw the dangerous ire of formidable adversaries.


To sustain his reign and shepherd his people, Akhenaten will have to tap into every strand of his strategic instincts. Yet, even as he amasses a band of loyalists, a network of formidable enemies lurks in the shadows, continuously expanding. He spearheads the construction of a spectacular new capital, persuading the Egyptian people to abandon their old lives and join him in this grand vision. But unbeknownst to him, within his vast newly built kingdom lie dormant threats: silent traitors ready to slander his name, treacherous plotters eager for his downfall, and lethal assassins with their sights set on his life. Yet, the most potent threat may lie closer than he thinks... perhaps within the man himself.


Valley of the Kings: The 18th Dynasty, is a thrilling, passion-filled saga of intrigue and treachery, drawn from the actual ancient Hittite and Amarna letters of the 14th century B.C.E. Dive into the extraordinary life and times of a visionary leader whose revolutionary beliefs were as awe-inspiring as they were catastrophic. This tale promises to breathe new life into the mesmerizing saga of a monarch who dared to challenge the norms and paid a monumental price.
