Summary

La gran novela sobre Tutankhamón por el maestro del género del Antiguo Egipto.

Un viaje fascinante al corazón del Antiguo Egipto y el reinado de Tutankhamón, el faraón más enigmático de la Historia.

Tras el reinado déspota y caótico de su padre, el joven Tutankhamón trata de poner orden en un país dividido. El faraón es apenas un adolescente y la despiadada lucha por el poder le ha sumido en la más absoluta soledad, pero todo cambia cuando aparece en su vida un humilde pescador llamado Nehebkau, que posee el increíble don de atraer a las cobras y encantarlas con su sola presencia. Será así como comience la profunda amistad que marcará la vida de ambos y será el hilo conductor de esta historia que nos transporta a una época fascinante.
 
Con el rigor y el ritmo propios de un gran maestro de la novela histórica, Antonio Cabanas nos sumerge en el convulso Egipto del siglo XIV a. C. Figuras como Akhenatón, Horemheb o la poderosa Nefertiti desfilan por las páginas de esta obra que también nos descubre las intrigas fraguadas a la sombra del faraón, los secretos guardados en las tumbas, cómo era la vida de quienes las construían y el alcance de las maldiciones de los dioses.
 
Esta gran novela llega a los lectores coincidiendo con el aniversario del descubrimiento de la tumba de Tutankhamón en el Valle de los Reyes en 1922. Desde el mítico hallazgo del arqueólogo Howard Carter, el farón más famoso y al mismo tiempo más desconocido del Antiguo Egipto siempre ha despertado una enorme fascinación. Por fin, en las páginas de esta novela, Antonio Cabanas nos descubre al hombre oculto tras el gran enigma histórico.
