Pharaoh Khufu is battling the Fates. At stake is the inheritance of Egypt\u2019s throne, the proud but tender heart of Khufu\u2019s beautiful daughter Princess Meresankh, and Khufu\u2019s legacy as a sage, not savage, ruler.
\nAs the tale begins, Khufu is bored in his great palace at Memphis. To entertain him, his architect Mirabu expounds on the mighty masterwork he has so far spent ten years building, with little yet showing above ground\u2014what will become the Great Pyramid of Giza. Mirabu and the clever vizier Hemiunu tempt him with other amusements as well\u2014but to no avail. Then one of the king\u2019s sons fetches a magician with the power to predict the future. The sorcerer says that Khufu\u2019s own offspring will not inherit Egypt\u2019s throne after him, but that it will fall instead to a son born that very morning to the High Priest of Ra. Furious, Khufu and his crown prince, the ruthless Khafra, set out to change the decree of the Fates\u2014which fight back in the form of Djedefra, the boy at the center of the prophecy, and his heart\u2019s desire, Princess Meresankh. Yet will the unsuspecting Khufu survive the intrigue around him\u2014not only to finish his long-awaited book of wisdom, but to become truly wise?<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
