In the city of Lahun, Hui lives an enchanted life. The favoured son of a

father, condemning Hui and seizing power in the city.
Cast out and alone, Hui finds himself a captive of a skilled and
powerful army of outlaws, the Hyksos. Determined to seek vengeance for

allegiance to these enemies of Egypt. Through them he learns the art of
war, learning how to fight and becoming an envied charioteer.
But soon Hui finds himself in an even greater battle - one for the very
heart of Egypt itself. As the pieces fall into place and the Gods
themselves join the fray, Hui finds himself fighting alongside the

path - will he be a hero in the old world, or a master in a new kingdom?
The New Kingdom is an Egyptian Series thriller by the master of
adventure, Wilbur Smith. Wilbur Smith will return to Ancient Egypt with
