Sword of Glory (Children of the Lion, No 8)

Children of the Lion seriesNext:The Prophecy (Children of the Lion, Book 7)(1987) →

Desert winds carried the smoke of battle from the Nile's black lands, stronghold of the last Shepherd King, to the Red Lands conquered by that king's greatest enemy, his own son Kamose. But even at the very edge of victory, defeat threatened the Children of the Lion, the proud family who bore the lion's paw birthmark as part of their lineage and destiny. Secretly, foolishly, their leader Kamose had embraced the cult of the evil goddess and become a murdering tyrant. Yet the Prophecy of Joseph, the Hebrew, was clear: the Children of the Lion would forge the weapon to unite Egypt at last.
