Bookroo's summary

In 701 B.C., young Prince Taharka unexpectedly ascends to the throne of Egypt, only to be exiled by a treacherous plot. Disguised as a medical assistant, he joins Amos, an emissary of King Hezekiah, on a journey to Judea. There, Taharka faces a critical choice: ally with the powerful Assyrian Sennacherib or support Hezekiah, who places his faith in Yahweh. As his true identity is revealed, Taharka's decision could alter the fate of nations. Will he follow power or faith? This historical adventure explores loyalty, identity, and the weight of leadership in a time of conflict.

From the publisher

A never-before published tale by the author of the best -selling Hittite Warrior, carries the reader back to Ancient Egypt and biblical Jerusalem. It is 701 B.C - rule of the Kushite dynasty in ancient Egypt. Young Prince Taharka, a very minor royal son, succeeds unexpectedly to the throne of Kush and Egypt - a “divine” rulership. It’s not long, however, before a treacherous plot pushes him into sudden exile and into the hands of Amos, an emissary of King Hezekiah seeking help with whom he will fight - the mighty Assyrian, Sennacherib, promising alliance or Hezekiah, the Jew who trusts in Yahweh. A novel inspired by research of the historical King Taharka and period. Includes an introduction with home-education suggestions.
