An Evil Spirit Out of the West

Known as the Veiled One, the ugly and deformed Akenhaten is a shadowy figure, Mahu, ambitious and ruthless, watches the young prince carve his path to power. He becomes Akenhaten's alter ego, his protector and confidant, standing by as Akenhaten proclaims that there is only one God, the Aten, and that he, Akenhaten, is that God's only son. Revolution and chaos follow in this dramatic reign filled with fraud, abduction, assassination, betrayal and treachery. But when Mahu becomes suspicious of Akenhaten's majestic and glorious wife Nefertiti, and the political skill of her father, Ay, it seems that a hidden and malign influence may also be at work. And then Akenhaten disappears . . .
