Charming and courageous, judicious and passionate, Yahhotep is called Queen Freedom. In Egypt, captured by Asian barbarians, only Thebes does not surrender, the city where she rules - a real woman and an excellent warrior. Not far from his residence, Yahhotep creates a secret military camp, where a new generation of warriors is growing up - the future liberators of Egypt. Yahhotep's husband dies in the struggle, but even this terrible grief cannot break her. The queen entrusts command of the troops to her eldest son. Kames will become pharaoh in place of his dead father. Together with him, Yakhhotep wins victory after victory, despite the betrayal of yesterday's subjects, friends, and loved ones. But the invaders are still confident in their invincibility. Although, perhaps, their serenity is just a trick, and they are preparing a trap for Yahhotep... If not for Yahhotep, the Valley of the Kings would have disappeared from the face of the earth. We would never have seen the Colossi of Memnon. We have not heard about the secrets of the tombs of the pharaohs. Egypt would never have experienced the heyday of the New Kingdom. It would be a different country. Other story. Another world...Great Egypt, intrigues, conspiracies, tomb desecrations, murders, lies and deceit, self-fulfilling curses and ancient spells, mysteries of the pyramids, mystical coincidences and sophisticated crimes, all-seeing gods and all-consuming love - all this in the novel “War of the Crowns” by Christian Jacques .
