Shadow Hawk

Product Description

1590 B.C: Rahotep, captain of the Nubian Desert Scouts, is heir to the Nome of the Striking Hawk, which, with all of Egypt, has been under the harsh rule of the Hyksos. Accused of a crime he didn't commit and driven out of Nubia by his scheming half-brother, Rahotep flees north to Thebes, accompanied only by a loyal band of Nubian archers. Here he takes refuge in the court of the Pharaoh Sekenenre III, who is determined to free Egypt. Treachery throws Rahotep into a cell beneath the Temple of Anubis. He must escape, not only to prove his innocence, but also to join in a mission and a battle upon which hangs the freedom of Egypt from the rule of the invaders. Ages 10-up.
