A novel set in ancient Egypt of the Pharaohs, date unspecified. It is a story of royalty and the succession of the ruler of Egypt. It is the love story of a young woman, Tua,  who is the only child and heir of the Pharaoh. He, Rames is the son of a king of a kingdom to the south of Egypt, who is now in Egypt, and is raised and trained for the army.  They spend some time together as children, and he saves her life from a  crocodile, while losing he little finger of his right hand to the croc. They get separated, and she becomes Pharoeh upon the death of her father.The book includes wizards and magic by different characters. Lots of interesting twists and turns involving a Ka for Tua, which is a duplicate for her person granted by the gods which can be called up. It is called up and rules in her place for two years when Tua is being pressured to marry her uncle who is 40 years older than her.It starts out slow, but picks up. The ties to ancient Egypt could be much better done.If you like adventure stories with a love component set in Egypt of thousands of years ago, this could be of interest.
