OSORKON SERIES: BOOK 3

War of Shadows

The terror unleashed by the renegade priests of Karnak has been ended. Those responsible have been annihilated, in body and name, denied rebirth in an act of heavy-handed wrath, but the whispers of unease and discontent endure. Is the Crown Prince Osorkon of sound mind or will the wrathful fires of his Meshwesh blood see yet more burn?

The Two Lands are at a temporary peace. The war between Tanis and Thebes, Egypt’s two mightiest cities, has come to a temporary truce, neither side possessing the strength to overcome the other, but the strain of war weights heavy on Takelot, more than any can truly know. The allied forces of Hermopolis arrive home to a city in ruins, their role in the civil strife over, while an old black-hearted enemy returns from the dead to threaten the Theban coalition’s unity.

The time for honourable battle has past, for a new field of conflict emerges, one that operates only in the shadows. The cost of failure has never been higher, and Thebes threatens to fall deeper into chaos and confusion.
