First published in 1813, Pride and Prejudice is the most polished of Jane Austen’s novels, with a humorous and upbeat mood. It was written at a time when the author’s narrative powers were fully developed and the story flows with an ease that conceals the skill of its construction. The plot line follows the sequence of a love relationship apprehended, misunderstood, and finally realized, which has since become a standard format of the romcom genre. However, Austen complicates the action by involving not one but four romantic relationships in the plot.

Having released Egypt from Ay’s clutches, Ankhesenamun returns to Crete to retrieve Intef from the underworld. But a deal struck with a god, even a minor one like a gate guardian, cannot easily be undone. Once again, Ankhesenamun will be tested. Once again, she will have to decide just how much she’s willing to give up to achieve her aim. This is the final full-length instalment in the Amarna Age series. Blending history and fantasy, the Amarna Age series is set in 18th dynasty Egypt where the old gods have been worshipped for thousands of years and magic is a matter of belief.

Ankhesenamun has lost everything, including her position as queen. But there is one thing that might save her yet: the Eye of Horus, a fabled artefact which is supposed to confer ultimate power on the one who wields it. If she can find it, it might help her to take back the throne and avoid war with the Hittites. But the gods don’t intend the Eye to be easily found, and they've barely even begun testing Ankhesenamun to see if she's strong enough to wield it.

Mourning Thrax’s death, Ankhesenamun tries to find peace again. But as she resumes her normal life, her world is upended by another death—this time, that of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. As Ankhesenamun tries to keep control of her throne and her country, the chief advisors tighten their own hold on power. Stripped of all authority and confined to her chambers, Ankhesenamun finally does the unthinkable—she sends a message to the Hittite king offering the throne to one of his sons.

The Eye of Horus is almost within Ankhesenamun's grasp. She now knows it definitely exists and she even knows where it was hidden just a few years ago. But when she reaches her destination, what awaits her there is nothing like she had expected. She was warned the gods wouldn't allow the Eye to be easily found. She was told she might crave its power for herself. She didn't take either warning seriously enough. Ankhesenamun will be tested until she breaks, and only then will the gods decide whether she is permitted to wield the Eye.

Ankhesenamun finally has the Eye of Horus, although she has given up almost everything to secure it. She returns to Egypt to reclaim her throne and restore a more humane monarchy. But she underestimates the power of the Eye. It won’t be content with a queen. The Eye wants more. It wants everything. The only thing Ankhesenamun has left to give is herself.
