An Egyptian prince and a Hebrew woman find love and adventure in this dramatic take on the classic Exodus tale from the author of King's Solomon's Mines. Ana, a scribe on his deathbed, narrates this tale of ancient Egypt and the biblical Exodus of the Hebrews. Ana tells of his childhood friend, Prince Seti, heir apparent to the pharaoh, and his travails. First, he is forced to marry his cousin. Then, his father disinherits him for thwarting his wishes to execute the Hebrews. Amid all of that, Seti meets Merapi, a Hebrew woman known as "Moon of Israel," and a romance blossoms . . . As the story progresses, the Egyptians and Hebrews face internal struggles as well as conflicts with each other. The plagues arise, and the new pharaoh hungers for revenge. Through it all, Seti learns more about himself and what it means to be a real leader
