The Twelfth Transforming

by Pauline Gedge

Part of a popular line of historical thrillers set in Egypt, this second volume in Gedge's bestselling series reconstructs the court of Akhenaten, one of ancient Egypt's most controversial and colorful rulers, whose reign lead to the near-collapse of his empire some 2,500 years ago. A lustrous tale of Pharaonic decadence. --The New York Times
