Title : The Mysteries of Osiris, Volume 1 - The Tree of Life - Christian Jacq - Book

Summary :

At the heart of the temple of Abydos, an acacia tree is dying... And through it, all of Egypt is threatened. For it is not a tree like the others: it sprang from the tomb of the god Osiris, to announce his rebirth. The great pharaoh Sesostris III immediately engages in battle against the invisible enemy who wants to lead Egypt to its ruin. But he is unaware that in his closest circle hides a traitor, a man who dreams of power and honors, a man who will sell himself to the occult forces... A young apprentice scribe, Iker, becomes a very involuntary actor in this mystery. Kidnapped by sailors invoking a "state secret," the adolescent does not know who is trying to kill him, nor who is protecting him. Haunted by the vision of a sublime young priestess, Iker has the feeling of being guided or manipulated, in any case of advancing on a path whose end he does not know. Together, Iker and Sesostris, the weak and the powerful, the innocent and the wise, will they succeed in preventing Osiris from dying for the last time? The Mysteries of Osiris, beyond the fiery quest of young Iker in search of his truth, and the fight of Sesostris III against the forces of Evil, is the absolutely magical and fascinating story of an Egypt that is no more and yet resists in our memories - thanks to Christian Jacq, who gives us here the keys and the secrets of its unalterable dimension...
