RIVER GOD [047-011-4.0]

By: Wilbur Smith

Synopsis:

Agent Egypt. Land of the Pharaohs. A Kingdom built on gold. A legend
shattered by greed... Now the Valley of the Kings lies ravaged by civil
war, drained of its life-blood, as weak men inherit the cherished
crown.

For Tonus, the fair-haired young lion of a warrior, the gods have
decreed that he will lead Egypt's army in a bold attempt to reunite the
Kingdom's shattered halves. But Tonus will have to defy the same gods
to attain the reward they have forbidden him an object more prized than
battle's glory, possession of the Lady Lostris, a rare beauty with skin
the color of oiled cedar, destined for adoration of a nation, and the
love of one extraordinary man.

many others before it, is for my wife, Danielle Antoinette.

The Nile that flows through this story has both of us in her thrall. We
have spent days of delight voyaging together upon her waters and idling
upon her banks. As we are, so is she a creature of this very Africa of
ours.

Yet this great river runs neither so strongly nor so deeply as my love
for you, my darling.
