A God Against the Gods

This story of religious wars in ancient Egypt has been called “the best book” by the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Return to Thebes (Fort Worth Star-Telegram).
 
From Allen Drury, winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the sweeping chronicle of a great and tragic pharaoh who lost his throne for the love of a God.

In the glory of ancient Egypt, an epic of a royal family divided, bloody power ploys, and religious wars that nearly tore apart one of the greatest empires in human history.

AKHENATEN: The dream-filled King of Egypt, who dared to challenge the ancient order of his people and dethrone the jealous deities of his land for the glory of one almighty God.

NEFERTITI: The most beautiful woman in the world, bred from birth to be the Pharaoh’s devoted lover—and to follow him anywhere, even in his tortured obsessions.
