Description
The Quest by Wilbur Smith is the fourth novel in his Ancient Egyptian Series, returning to the world of ancient Egypt and the remarkable magus Taita. When a devastating drought strikes Egypt and the Nile mysteriously dries up, Pharaoh Nefer Seti turns to Taita to discover the cause of the catastrophe. His search takes him far beyond the boundaries of the kingdom, into unfamiliar lands where danger awaits at every turn.
Joined by his loyal companion Meren, Taita encounters hostile tribes, mysterious creatures and forces that seem to belong to an older, darker world. As his journey unfolds, the quest becomes more than a search for the source of Egypt’s suffering: Taita must uncover a terrifying threat that could bring destruction to the entire kingdom. Blending historical adventure with mythology, magic and supernatural elements, the novel takes its characters on an epic journey through a vividly imagined ancient world.
A good choice for readers who enjoy sweeping historical adventures, ancient Egypt, mythology and stories where mystery and magic are woven into a dangerous quest.
