With the sudden death of his father, 16-year old Qa'a is thrust onto the throne, unprepared for rule. He is at the mercy of the cunning Chief Priest of Horus and his evil disciple. Then a chance meeting with a successful trader creates a friendship that gives Qa'a a vision that could bring glory to the Two Lands. But Qa'a's missteps bring the newly unified country to war. Violent unrest follows as the underground leaders of Lower Kem foment a rebellion that challenges King Qa'a's rule. Will Qa'a recover from these setbacks and leave a legacy that future generations will praise? Or will his deep flaws tear The Two Lands apart once again? A new age waits for Ra's unerring light.
