Title : The Black Pharaoh - Christian Jacq - book

Summary :

The temples of Northern Egypt are deserted, the gods forgotten. Everyone now thinks only of making the most profit for themselves. Injustice and corruption reign. Five centuries after Ramses, far from its past splendor, the empire seems headed for irremediable ruin. One man, a Nubian, refuses this inevitability. Piankhy, the "living," the black pharaoh, governs his southern kingdom with wisdom and kindness. In his heart, a single desire: that the gods once again reside in a united Egypt, nourished by justice and love. But the price to pay is heavy for this man of peace: he would have to confront the Libyan Tefnakt, an authoritarian and ambitious northern prince, who wants to restore order and reign in glory—by subduing the country by force. Between the black pharaoh and the Libyan prince, war is inevitable. And the victory of one or the other of these inflexible wills depends on the survival of a thousand-year-old world... Despite his courage and the magic of his wife, is the black pharaoh truly capable of achieving the impossible?
