I actually hesitated about reading this book because of the era in which it took place. When i was in college, i took a course in African History with two brilliant scholars, John Henrik Clarke and Dr. Yusef Ben-Jochannan(Dr. Ben). Well i am pleased to say that Chanta Rands' description of Egypt and the Pharaohs and Nubia brought back pleasant memories of the wonderful classes i had with these two amazing scholars.The story of Pharaoh Amonmose and Kama was wonderful. Kama, who is Nubian was captured by the Egyptians when the village she was visiting was raided and set on fire. Amonmose rescues her from being raped by his soldiers and brings her back to Egypt with him. Naturally, Kama hates him for attacking her village and killing her family. Amonmose is captivated by her beauty and intrigued by her brazenness and he is determined to win her over. Kama does not want to like Amonmose but as time passes it gets harder for her to really hate him.Amonmoses' kingdom is plagued with jealousy and deception. Who can he trust? Chanta Rand has written a tale of intrigue and love. This is my favorite book by this author. WELL DONE MS. RAND.
