Synopsis

When a priest dies in a mysterious fall from the top of a statue of Tutankhamun, many consider the death a fateful one for the boy-king and his reign.

Lurking beneath the luxury of the court at Thebes lie malice, evil and murder. Not even Lord Meren - the 'eyes and ears' of Tutankhamun - can identify the plotters. But until the enemies of the fourteen-year-old pharaoh are destroyed, neither his body nor his soul is safe from their deadly poison...
