About this title

Synopsis

Tutankhaten is alone, and neither his privilege, inherited wealth, nor position can help him. Tutankhaten is son of the heretic Pharaoh Akhenaten who is obsessed with the sun-god Aten. Forgoing all other deities Akhenaten moved Egypt's court from the capital cities of Memphis and Thebes to the new city he built: Amarna.

Tutankhaten's mother died giving birth to him. Now harbouring feelings of guilt and abandonment, Tutankhaten must rise above his own inner turmoil to counter manipulative older guardians and advisors. He must win the battle for his own survival.

Set in the Amarna period in ancient Egypt, Tutankhaten is particularly wary of his personal advisor, Vizier Ay, who wants the throne of Egypt for himself.

But who can Tutankhaten trust?

Tutankhaten is a brilliant student. He is loyal, honest, brave, and fair minded but is plagued by his painful left foot and leg he injured in a hunting accident; Tutankhaten is not a patient person.

The young prince must also deal with angry gods who feel left out because of his father's loyalty to the one god, the Aten. So he sets out to appease the alienated gods to protect his people and his country, and in the process is constantly putting himself in danger.

Tutankhaten believes in 'friends to the end'. He is young and passionate about life. Because he is being groomed for the possibility of succession to the throne, Tutankhaten is always in pursuit of a higher truth, for his family, his friends, and his people; he needs to ensure a safe, happy, and prosperous Egypt.

The boy who would be king is fast becoming a man; Tutankhaten is extremely popular and loved by those closest to him. These people are loyal and support him at every turn in his desperate fight for survival.
