Secret Seer
The
first novel in The Pharaoh’s Justice trilogy.
Amun-Re, the
dynastic God of the Royal Family, blesses them with a male
seer in every generation. The Royal Family believes this
gift of the God confirms the right of the Crown Prince to
inherit the throne. Prince Nebmaatre has kept secret his
son, Prince Khay’s, seer abilities. When Prince Nebmaatre
reveals the secret to Ramessu, High Priest of Osiris, both
the High Priest and Prince Khay are murdered. The sacrilege
of killing the gift of Amun-Re results in accusations
against the Crown Prince. What was Prince Khay about to
reveal about the Crown Prince that made such sacrilege
necessary? The Crown Prince’s stepbrothers Meryatum, High
Priest of Re, and Prince Sethhirkopshef come to the Crown
Prince’s aid. Then Meryatum finds the impossible, a
prisoner in the cells of Iunet suffering from a vision
storm, proving he is a seer. The fact that the prisoner is
royal leaves Meryatum facing an appalling choice. Which
member of his family does he betray?
