Nefru's last night on the Nile. Caravans crossing the Sahara reach Memphis on the banks of the Nile River. It’s a large city with mud hovels and stone palaces surrounded by the crops of a rich civilization. This is Egypt in 300 B.C. The Hyskos, invaders from the northeast, have plundered and pillaged along the Nile from their base in the city of Avaris. These foreign kings have ruled Egypt for too many years. The true King of Egypt, Se Kahn-Re, has had little power, but now Se Kahn-Re has raised an army to defeat the Hyskos and unite the contentious principalities of Egypt under one rule. In the developing power vacuum many minor and Pharonic nobles struggle to elevate their family lineage and establish political power. In the wake of these intrigues are others; priests, merchants, and military commanders jostling to attach themselves to the nobles who they think will come out on top. Throw into this mix the craven lust, greed, and deception of human affairs and you end up with an entangled hive of human endeavor that just boggles the mind! Then someone dies.
