The Crimson Aten: A Thriller in the times of Queen Nefertiti (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798328241120)

An epic thriller set in the time of Nefertiti, under the scorching sun of Akhenaten's Amarna.

Circa 1336 B.C., Egypt.

Pharaoh Akhenaten is dying. His kingdom seethes, restless under his abandonment of the old gods. Crocodiles lurk in the murky waters of succession, hungry for the throne.

All this means little to Hapu the thief. A glorious score beckons-an unfinished tomb promising magnificent riches and a chance to forever free his family from their miserable existence. But when a botched heist leaves Hapu staring into the gaping maw of death, only a desperate gamble and an unlikely twist of fate can spare his life.

The reprieve comes at a price.

Thrust into the viper's nest of court, bewitched by a princess, and pursued by a shadowy murderer, Hapu must navigate a labyrinth of conspiracies to shield the Queen and her family from those who would see Egypt drowned in blood.

Failure means the death of all he loves and the end of the Kingdom as he knows it

The Crimson Aten is a page-turning tale of betrayal, loyalty, and the fight for legacy amidst the crumbling sands of time. Dive in and discover if Hapu can rewrite his destiny, and that of Egypt, in this thriller set in the enigmatic Amarna period of Queen Nefertiti.
