When her husband is brutally murdered, beautifu half-English, half-Egyptian Royan Al Simmu is forced to seek refuge in England. With eminent archaeologist Nicholas Quenton-Harper, she can pick up the pieces of her shattered life and find the courage to return to Ethiopia. For Duraid. For the long-dead slave Taita. And for the dreams of an ancient Pharoah... Because others will stop at nothing to claim the prize as their own.
