CHRISTIAN JACQ'S COMPELLING NEW SERIES, THE MYSTERIES OF OSIRIS

'As with Ramses, I waited more than twenty years before deciding to write this book, which is one of the most important of my life...

Because for me, it was a question of explaining Egypt's permanence today: the mystery of resurrection' CHRISTIAN JACQ

The young scribe Iker has finally realised that in pursuing the pharaoh Senusret with his hatred he chose the wrong target, and that the real enemy lies elsewhere. The true enemy, the one who is attacking the Tree of Life at Abydos, is in fact the Herald, that baleful individual who is rallying troops on the borders in order to invade Egypt and annihilate her.

Now, Senusret has entrusted Iker with a particularly dangerous mission: to enter Canaan and discover the Herald's lair. Iker knows that he is risking his life. What he doesn't know is that the Herald, now hiding in Nubia, is planning a gigantic flood that will lay waste the entire country.

Who can save Egypt now? Senusret - constantly under attack from savage assassination attempts? Iker - fighting on a thousand fronts to prevent the traitor from succeeding? Or the beautiful priestess Isis, who perhaps - deep in her soul - will find the means to pacify the spirit of the Nile?
