"Master storyteller" TIME OUT Although weakened by his great battles, Pharaoh Tuthmosis II is assured of a welcome on his return to Thebes. Reunited with his wife, Hatusu, and his people, Tuthmosis stands before the statue of Amun-Ra, acknowledging the roar of the crowd. Within an hour he is dead and the people of Thebes cannot forget the omen of the wounded doves flying overhead. With rumour running rife, Hatusu vows to uncover the truth and with the aid of Amerotke, a respected judge of Thebes, she embarks on a path destined to reveal the great secrets of Egypt.
