A prince tested in ancient Egypt

Set in the royal world of ancient Egypt, the opening volume centers on fourteen-year-old Ramses as he faces tests intended to prepare him for power. With succession uncertain and his brother Shaanar presented as a rival, the young prince turns to a circle of friends that includes Moses, a scholar, and a snake charmer. The premise combines royal succession politics with mythology and a coming-of-age journey, while placing friendship and loyalty alongside the question of who will inherit the pharaoh’s empire. This installment begins a series focused on Ramses’s rise toward the legendary reign identified in the description.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

Book overview

Historical fiction meets mythology as ancient Egypt comes alive in this monumental epic with over 2 million copies sold around the world.

At fourteen, Ramses, the second son of the Pharaoh Seth, must begin to pass a series of royal tests designed to build his mental and physical prowess-or break him. Is Seth planning to leave the world's most powerful empire to Ramses, and not his corrupt brother, Shaanar? Before he knows it, the younger prince is surrounded by enemies and turning to his friends: Moses, the brilliant young Hebrew; Setau, the snake charmer and mage; Ahmeni; the frail scholar; and Set and Nefertari, the two beautiful women Ramses loves.

And so begins the journey of the hero the world has yet to know... Let the saga begin.

The first in Christian Jacque's bestselling Ramses series, recounting the thrilling story of Ramses, the legendary king who ruled Egypt for more than 60 years. Ramses sets into motion a tapestry of royal intrigue, treacherous plots, and romantic adventures that will keep readers spellbound and hungry for more.
