"The ram and fish will come to meet,
And their souls they will deceive,
For land and throne both hunger for,
Deprives the heart and makes them poor."
Egypt. 2153 B.C. Civil feuding corrupted the country. One king brought peace. But without a son, his legacy was left to his daughter's defence. A time when men have always ruled, Tigris, crowned Nitiqreti - the first female pharaoh - must wear the mask of strength to survive the judgements of her court. This skill is put to her greatest test when an unexpected twist of fate challenges her throne and Tigris is haunted by love in a world where pride has always reigned.
The King of Egypt is a heart-wrenching tale of betrayal, love and pride that resurrects pharaohs and other legends believed to have lived in a time that has been lost in history.
