Title : Queen Liberty Volume 1 - The Empire of Darkness - Christian Jacq - book

Summary :

Egypt is now a shadow of its former self. An army of barbarians from Asia, riding chariots drawn by horses (the Egyptians had never seen them before!), has swept across the Empire. They are called the Hyksos, the "rulers of foreign lands." They have enslaved the land of the pharaohs.

Only one city has not yielded, Thebes, over which the widow of the last pharaoh, Teti the Little, still reigns. And Teti knows that men have given up in the face of the cruelty of the Hyksos, in the face of the incessant torture, the summary executions, and the penal colonies from which no one has ever returned. But Teti has an eighteen-year-old daughter, Ahotep.

And Ahotep, she, never accepted defeat: "When you have no choice," she often says, "you are free!" She is proud, beautiful, courageous, she is afraid of nothing. And that is how she decides to rekindle the flame of Egyptian resistance! All by herself! With freedom as a rallying sign...
