This historical fiction transports readers to a realm of power, deception, and the transformative nature of history, unveiling the enigmatic world of the 'Sun King,' a forgotten ruler whose legacy has been shrouded in mystery. Ignatius, a renowned journalist and novelist, masterfully weaves a narrative that is both historically rich and deeply imaginative. The story unfolds through the eyes of an exiled scribe, Hori, who embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the truth about the Sun King and his enigmatic reign. As Hori journeys through the crumbling ruins and dusty archives of the ancient city of Thebes, he encounters a cast of characters who bring the Sun King's era to life. There's Nofret, a brilliant but ambitious queen, and Senmut, a loyal advisor who guards the king's darkest secrets. Each character holds a piece of the puzzle, leading Hori closer to the truth. Ignatius paints a vivid portrait of the Sun King as a complex and enigmatic figure. Driven by an insatiable thirst for power, the king rules with an iron fist, manipulating his court and orchestrating grand schemes to secure his legacy.
