description: Ann Moray's best and most brilliant novel re-creates a magnificent history. Dawn Falcon is the story of two young Theban princes, Kamose and Ahmose, who fought to free their land from the long tyranny of the Hyksos usurpers, and who founded the great XVII Dynasty that is known today as the New Kingdom. Drawing on a lifetime's love of ancient Egyptian history, and from years of study, Ann Moray has given us a novel redolent with the majesty of this land, far away from us in time, of vast temples and of the Nile. "Seldom in contemporary fiction is such a spell woven of so many gleaming strands, of insight into childhood and adolescent character ... of loving evocation of the beauties of nature, and of the creation of a special private world," wrote Orville Prescott of The New York Times. He called it "a rare book."
