At Thebes, the Nile divides two worlds: a city alive with color and labor, and a western shore where mourners walk among tombs and jackals feed on offerings. But to the Egyptians, the dead are never truly gone.

In the fourteenth century before Christ, Georg Ebers sets his romance amid the temples, palaces and crowded streets of ancient Thebes, with the City of the Dead watching from across the river. Princess Bent-Anat moves among a society ordered by rank, where even a girl’s injury can expose the distance between the powerful and the poor. As Bent-Anat is drawn toward the fate of a low-born girl, compassion meets the customs that govern this world. How far can one person reach across a divide as old as the city itself?
