Christian Jacq Synopsis: The Empire of Darkness by Christian Jacq is the first book in the Queen of Freedom series. Egypt is not what it used to be. An army of barbarians mounted on horse-drawn chariots has swept through the Empire, destroying everything in its path. Known as the Hyksos, these “leaders from foreign lands” have reduced the country of the pharaohs to slavery. Only the city of Thebes resists, protected by the widow of the last pharaoh, Teti the Small. But Teti knows that her reign will be short-lived, that it’s only a matter of time before her men succumb to the barbarities of the cruel Hyksos. She has an eighteen-year-old daughter, however: Ahhotep. Fierce, beautiful, and courageous, this girl whom history will call “Egypt’s Joan of Arc” will never accept defeat. And so she decides to re-ignite the flame of Egyptian resistance. All by herself.
