I noticed the glint and flash of sunlight on metal. An icy coldness swept over me. The girdles around their waists were stuffed with weapons – jewelled daggers and adzes and bronze sickle swords – and slung across their backs were enormous bows and dark hide quivers bulging with arrows.
A murderous plot and a battle for succession sets brother against brother and drives two girls to war. Isikara, daughter of the Priest at the Temple of the Crocodile god, escapes with Tuthmosis to gather men to help him fight for his crown. Will they escape the fierce desert nomads? Who is the mysterious slave dancer, Anoukhet? And will the Nubian army help them?
