'As with Ramses, I waited more than twenty years before deciding to write this book, which is one of the most important of my life… Because, for me, it was a question of explaining Egypt's permanence today: the mystery of resurrection' — Christian Jacq
Unrecognisable, the evil Herald is hiding at the very heart of Abydos, preparing to commit the supreme crime. By bringing death into the kingdom of Osiris in order to prevent his resurrection, he will at last be able to overthrow the pharaoh Senusret, seize power and spread his wicked doctrine far and wide.
Will young Iker manage to fulfill his mission, to celebrate the mysteries of Osiris? In the face of misfortune, will the priestess Isis bring her Quest for the Impossible to a successful conclusion?
And if death could really be overcome…
After forty years of studying the doctrines of Ancient Egypt, Christian Jacq concludes this magnificent series by revealing the Great Secret of resurrection. This mystery lay at the very centre of Egyptian thought and pharaonic civilization — and provides the key to our understanding of Ancient Egyptian life.
