In the temple of Abydos, an acacia is dying, and with it, all of Egypt is threatened. This tree sprang from the tomb of the first sovereign of Egypt, the god Osiris murdered by his brother, to demonstrate to men his victory over death. Its survival is the guarantee of happiness on earth. Now it withers because evil powers are plotting to achieve the disappearance of Egypt. The great pharaoh Sesostris III immediately engages in a magical combat against an invisible enemy. However, he ignores that in his inner circle hides a traitor, a man who dreams of power and honors, someone who will sell himself to the hidden forces. A young apprentice scribe, Iker, involuntarily becomes a key character in this mystery. Will Iker and Sesostris, the weak and the powerful, the innocent and the wise, manage to prevent Osiris from dying for the last time?
Christian Jacq is a French author and Egyptologist. He has written several novels about ancient Egypt, notably a five book series about pharaoh Ramses II, a character whom Jacq admires greatly.
