Ankhesenamun needs to produce an heir to the throne—quickly. Pharaoh Tutankhamun is young and weak. His chief advisors are planning his quiet removal, and Ankhesenamun hopes to hold them off by producing an heir who can become a stronger Pharaoh. When Pharaoh's advisors move the court from the desert city of Akhetaten back to ancient Memphis, Ankhesenamun is thrown into a new world of danger, secrets, and old gods. Her dreams warn her of a blond-haired man who she will fall desperately in love with—and who will die by her own hand.

Ankhesenamun has lost everything, including her position as queen. But there is one thing that might save her yet: the Eye of Horus, a fabled artefact which is supposed to confer ultimate power on the one who wields it. If she can find it, it might help her to take back the throne and avoid war with the Hittites. But the gods don’t intend the Eye to be easily found, and they've barely even begun testing Ankhesenamun to see if she's strong enough to wield it.

The Eye of Horus is almost within Ankhesenamun's grasp. She now knows it definitely exists and she even knows where it was hidden just a few years ago. But when she reaches her destination, what awaits her there is nothing like she had expected. She was warned the gods wouldn't allow the Eye to be easily found. She was told she might crave its power for herself. She didn't take either warning seriously enough. Ankhesenamun will be tested until she breaks, and only then will the gods decide whether she is permitted to wield the Eye.

Stripped of all authority and confined to her chambers, Ankhesenamun finally does the unthinkable—she sends a message to the Hittite king offering the throne to one of his sons.

Ankhesenamun finally has the Eye of Horus, although she has given up almost everything to secure it. She returns to Egypt to reclaim her throne and restore a more humane monarchy. But she underestimates the power of the Eye. It won’t be content with a queen. The Eye wants more. It wants everything. The only thing Ankhesenamun has left to give is herself.
