Description

The splendor and danger of ancient Egypt continues in the second volume of this magnificent saga. For Ramses, the Son of Light, the coronation has arrived. Now he will learn whether the friends of his youth--people such as Moses and the aging Greek poet, Homer--can truly be trusted. Shaanar, the young king's scheming older brother, still has designs on the crown, and in the shadows, the machinations of a mysterious sorcerer threaten the throne.

Can't leave it aside once you start reading it, but that doesn't mean it's great.
Fun new take on Egypt.
A vivid re-creation of the majesty and mystery of ancient times, Ramses has swept across France, then the rest of Europe, then Asia. Every book in this spectacular series has been an international blockbuster bestseller--and American readers are quickly falling under it
Second book in the Ramses series.
"Den store Sethos är död. Ramses har förlorat sin far, Egypten sin ledare. Förberedelserna inför kröningen av den nye faraon är många och det är med blandade känslor som den unge Ramses ser på sin framtid. Till sin hjälp har han visserligen sin älskade hustru, Nefertari, och sin mor Tuya. Helt ovärderliga är också hans vänner diplomaten Acha, ormtjusaren Setau, säkerhetsvakten Serramanna och hebrén Moses.
Men fienderna är många, och nära. Brodern allierar sig med en grekisk prins, systern och hennes man hyser också planer på att förgöra den unge faraon. Farligast är kanske ändå magikern Ofir som infiltrerar i alla läger. I sin kamp att avsätta Ramses skyr han inga medel och det krävs gudomliga krafter för show more att överlista hans svarta magi.
Lyckligtvis har Ramses gudarnas välsignelse, men just när den heliga staden Pi-Ramses är färdigbyggd tornar orosmolnen åter upp sig på den egyptiska himlen."

El momento de la coronación ha llegado. El amor de Nefertari y el de su madre, la sólida red de amistades que tejió durante la adolescencia y la admirable intuición de Ramsés para juzgar a las personas contribuirán en gran medida al éxito en el desempeño de sus onerosas funciones y harán de él un gran faraón. Pero las conspiraciones se multiplican en la sombra y Ramsés, el hijo de la luz, se verá obligado a luchar para conservar el trono. ¿Conseguirá hacer fracasar los complots urdidos por su hermano mayor, Chenar? ¿Podrá conjurar la magia negra de un misterioso hechicero? ¿Logrará prevenirse contra las intrigas de los hititas? Los obstáculos se acumulan y los alardes de poder se agotan. Para vencer a sus show more adversarios, tanto los visibles como los invisibles, la pareja real escoge el único camino que les queda: construir el templo de millones de años.. show less
