درباره این ای-کتاب

Part Eight of the Late Bronze Age Stories has Nahid, driven by prophetic dreams, leaving the hills above the Great Green Sea. With Bakiri and his band of protectors, he sets out for Egypt, Bakiri’s home, and then to Amarna, where their ancestor Thutmose created his greatest work. Amarna was dismantled when the heretic pharaoh Akhenaten died, but Nahid is sure that a treasure still exists for him to find. Bakiri’s daughter, Rabiah, and Nahid fall in love, and they meld his jewelry and her linen garments. He has found his mate, and perhaps the treasure he was meant to find. She insists on being a part of the trip to Amarna. In the course of finding the treasure, Rabiah is put in great danger, and they have to flee Amarna to save Rabiah. Nahid further matures into a wise and protective mate to Rabiah. All are astonished at the secrets revealed by their quick journey to Amarna. The artists will forever have the images of the great art they have witnessed, in their minds and hearts.
