Christian Jacq's Ramses Series
Description: A vivid re-creation of the majesty and mystery of ancient times, Ramses has swept across France, creating a national craze for all things Egyptian and becoming the most spectacular phenomenon in French publishing of the last twenty years. Here, portrayed as never before, is an unforgettable pharaoh and a land steeped in mysticism and enchantment.

Before he knows it, the younger prince is surrounded by enemies and turning to his friends: Moses, the brilliant young Hebrew; Setau, the snake charmer and mage; Ahmeni, the frail scholar; and Iset and Nefertari, the two beautiful women Ramses loves. And so begins the journey of the hero the world has yet to know...
