Nervenkitzel der Großwildjagd in den weitläufigen Steppen.

Dopo anni passati sotto il giogo degli Hyksos, quello che un tempo era il potentissimo Egitto è ora in rovina. La popolazione è sofferente, e anche se il faraone ha riconquistato il trono che gli spettava di diritto il suo potere si è indebolito a dismisura. Tanto che c’è chi trama nell’ombra per approfittare del caos in cui è precipitato il paese dopo la vittoria contro l’oppressore. Deciso a riunire i due regni sotto la guida del faraone, il grande mago Taita affida al suo pupillo Piay una nuova, pericolosissima missione che ha l’obiettivo di risolvere un enigma vecchio di secoli, un enigma che risale ai tempi del Faraone Imhotep.

Taita è un umile schiavo; poeta, medico, ingegnere, sa bene come mantenere un segreto e proprio per questo è una delle proprietà che il nobile Intef considera più preziose. Eppure, quando sua figlia, la bellissima Lostris, viene data in sposa al faraone, inspiegabilmente il potente signore gli ordina di seguirla. Di colpo, Taita si ritrova immerso in un mondo di oscuri intrighi e biechi tradimenti.
