Warlock (The Egyptian Novels)

With this stunning sequel to the bestselling novel River God, Wilbur Smith returns to the world of ancient Egypt.

Hidden away in the vast and forbidding deserts of North Africa, Taita has passed the years since the death of his beloved Queen Lostris in prayer and study. He has become the Warlock, wise in the lore of the old Gods, an adept of magic and the supernatural.

Now Taita answers summons from the beyond. He leaves the desert's vastness and returns to the world of men, only to find himself plunged into a terrible conflict. These forces of evil threaten to overwhelm the throne and the realm of Egypt, and to destroy young Prince Nefer, the grandson of Queen Lostris . . .
