Book description
Known as the Veiled One, the ugly and deformed Akenhaten is a shadowy
figure. Mahu, ambitious and ruthless, watches the young prince carve his
own path to power. He becomes Akenhaten's alter ego, his protector and
confidant, standing by as Akenhaten proclaims that there is only one
God, the Aten, and that he, Akenhaten, is that God's only son.
Revolution and chaos follow in this dramatic reign filled with fraud,
abduction, assassination, betrayal and treachery. But when Mahu becomes
suspicious of Akenhaten's majestic and glorious wife Nefertiti, and the
political skill of her brother, Ay, it seems that a hidden and malign
influence may also be at work. And then Akenhaten disappears... Paul
Doherty was born in Middlesborough. He studied History at Liverpool and
Oxford Universities and obtained a doctorate for his thesis on Edward II
and Queen Isabella. He is now headmaster of a school in North-East
London.
