A BBC Radio thriller set in the turbulent and war-torn times of Ancient Egypt of 1600 B.C.

A young man learns a secret that upends his entire life: that he is the rightful heir to the throne of Egypt.


Armed only with an amulet given to him by his father before his father's death, he journeys to the capital city of Thebes to claim his birthright, but gaining the object of his quest will be harder than can be imagined as he must now face not only an evil rival for the throne who will stop at nothing to gain his ambition but also life and death perils and the ancient Gods and Goddesses of Egypt themselves!
