We follow the slave, Taita, an expert in art, poetry, medicine, and engineering after he is commanded to look after a young princess married off to the Pharoah. Smith’s portrayal of ancient Egypt during the era of the pharaohs will enthrall you, all while weaving a heart-racing tale of bravery, heroism, revenge, and love. I particularly had a fondness for the faithful and affectionate friendship he had with the Queen all throughout her life.

This was the book that made me fall in love with Ancient Historical Fiction. It painted such a vivid and memorable picture of ancient Egypt, painting a tapestry of love, desire, ambition, and violence, and a must for readers who enjoy a thrilling ride.
