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.

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.

(potentially) good story, really poor execution ( )

interesting introduction to this part of history, about which I knew little ( )

A younger version, perhaps early teens, would have loved this book a lot more. It's a story of Ramses and how he became Pharaoh. Like many reviewers, I found the characters flat.

I've been spoiled by some amazing historical fiction in the past couple years, and this book isn't in the same league. Still, there's no denying I enjoyed reading the book, a real page turner.

Because of the flatness of the characters, it's almost a "trashy novel" with no substance, and I feel a little guilty for liking the book. ( )
