But Amenhotep IV appoints him as Great Royal Scribe. Surrounded by bitterly envious rivals and enemies, how long will Ptah-hotep survive?The child-princess Mutnodjme sees her beautiful sister Nefertiti married off to the impotent young Amenhotep. But Nefertiti must bear royal children, so the ladies of the court devise a shocking plan.Kheperren, meanwhile, serves as scribe to the daring teenage General Horemheb. But while the Pharaoh’s shrinking army guards the Land of the Nile from enemies on every border, a far greater menace impends.For, not content with his own devotion to one god alone, the newly-renamed Akhnaten plans to suppress the worship of all other gods in the Black Land.His horrified court soon realize that the Pharaoh is not merely deformed, but irretrievably mad; and that the biggest danger to the Empire is in the royal palace itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Poisoned Pen Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966231670837,"sku":"ByrdShop_1464200386","price":59.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781464200380_a3d5ff47-3b92-448c-9a82-1554f14cf452.jpg?v=1778904965","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/out-of-the-black-land-a-mystery-9781464200380","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
