In Egypt thirteen centuries before Christ, the painter Keftén becomes obsessed with Pharaoh Akenatón and Queen Nefertiti and with the city the royal couple raises in honor of the god Atón. The novel recreates the origin and fall of the first monotheistic cult, and at the same time is a story about beauty, art, love and the end of empires.

A read for lovers of historical fiction and ancient Egypt, with portraits of real figures such as Akenatón and Nefertiti.
