The Way of Fire

Iker comes to understand that his earlier judgement of Senusret III has been mistaken and that Egypt’s true enemy is working through deception, foreign intrigue and internal betrayal. Sent into dangerous territory, he must balance service to the pharaoh with his own survival as the threat to the Tree of Life deepens. The novel moves the series outward from Abydos into intelligence work, testing whether loyalty and initiation can withstand fear and manipulation.
