Description

In the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten, Egypt stands on the edge of upheaval. The old gods are fading, the new faith of the Aten rises, and beneath the surface of this fragile order, tensions threaten to fracture the kingdom.

When a fatal "accident" at a royal tomb construction site is revealed to be murder, the Medjay are drawn into a dangerous investigation. But this is no ordinary crime. Evidence of sabotage points to something far more deliberate-and far more dangerous-than a single killing.

To uncover the truth, a reluctant figure is summoned: Ramose, a former charioteer long retired from service. Methodical, perceptive, and unafraid to question what others accept, Ramose is thrust back into a world of intrigue he thought he had left behind. As he follows a trail that winds from the workers' village to the royal court itself, he must navigate shifting loyalties, buried secrets, and the growing unease of a nation in religious turmoil.

With the shadow of treachery stretching across Akhenaten's Egypt, Ramose faces a stark reality: in a world where even the gods are contested, truth is the most dangerous prize of all.
