Ancient Egypt 3500 years ago - a land ruled by the all-powerful female king, Hatshepsut. Ambitious, ruthless and worldly: a woman who established Amun as the chief god of Egypt, bestowing his Priesthood with unprecedented riches and power. This is a story of vision and obsession, of mighty projects and heartbreaking failures - the story of a woman possessed by the desire for power and the need to love.

In ancient Egypt during the magnificent eighteenth dynasty the Pharaoh Akhenaten and his queen, the strong and beautiful Nefertiti, are engaged in a dramatic battle against the wealthy, corrupt and dangerously powerful priests of Amun. Haunting and full of surprises, The Son of the Sun, gives a fascinating glimpse into an ancient civilisation. It is a story about hate and love, despair and hope, but more than that it is the story of extraordinary spiritual and psychic powers being tested to their limits.

Ankhesenamun has never been safe in all her short life. Daughter of the Pharaoh Akhenaten and the fabled Nefertiti, and married at one time to her father, she has seen too much intrigue, too many deaths... She is forced to marry Tutankhamun by the powerful General Horemheb at a time of bitter political and religious division - Ankhesenamun is the delicate link between scheming factions. But she is left vulnerable by the failure of her plans for the sacred egg of Ra and the death of her young husband, and Ankhesenamun is forced into making one last extraordinary and desperate bid for life and happiness... There are many people today who have heard of Tutankhamun. But not so many know the story of his wife, the young Ankhesenamun, facing dangerous and troubled times. Letters from her have been discovered and preserved, telling a story both moving and tragic, but also of daring, intelligence and courage. This is basically her story - the Daughter of Ra. "Tutankhamun and the Daughter of Ra" is part of Moyra Caldecott's acclaimed Egyptian sequence, which also includes "Hatshepsut: Daughter of Amun" and "Akhenaten: Son of the Sun". Chronologically, "Tutankhamun and the Daughter of Ra" is the last book in the sequence.

Who dares challenge the might of the Priests of Amun? A group of people are drawn inexorably together, and impelled by forces unknown to travel to Egypt to investigate what happened to the pharaoh Akhenaten who lived more than three thousand years before. Their adventures are not what any of them expect, and have far-reaching consequences in their lives. The Ghost of Akhenaten is part of Moyra Caldecott's magnificent Egyptian sequence.
