One night a princess escapes from the sumptuous palace of thePharaoh, the Lord of the Two Lands of Khemet. To her father,a remote figure, she is merely a bargaining tool to be sold off toa foreign king or noble in marriage. Yet at her birth fourteen summersbefore, on the edge of day and night, the Hathor priestessesdecreed her special and called her Layla-Nour, a child born atthe powerful meeting of dark and light. Now in the desert, it isdark. The stars of Nut and the silver shine of Djehuty the moongod are blotted out. Behind the eddying wind and shifting dust,she hears the wild dogs howl – or are these the mournful criesof the shadow-beings and their eerie wailing at the back of thewind? Will a shadow-being play some part in her future? Nour,torn and cold, could have no idea that she stood on the thresholdof a future that would not only dwarf the victories of her fatherbut shake the customs and history of Khemet to its very roots.Paul F.
