Industry Reviews

From the author of the Ramses series comes the second volume of his enthralling The Stone of Light series. Nefer the Silent is now master of works at the forbidden royal village - The Place of Truth, and since the death of Ramses the pressure to produce their greatest works of art has increased. Mehy cultivates his plot to steal the Stone of Light from the village where unrest is growing after evidence of a traitor in their midst. It falls to Nefer's wife, Ubekhet, to accept the role of Wise Woman and protect the village, and her beloved husband, from Mehy's constant attacks. Whilst Mehy manages to discover several minor, yet valuable, secrets from the Place of Truth the Stone of Light continues to elude him. As we follow the artists' work on Pharoah's tomb and Temple of a Million Years it becomes clear that the talented painter, Paneb, will have much to do with the future safety of the Place of Truth, making the next instalment eagerly awaited. must for all Jacq fans.
