Egypt, a four thousand year old civilization, has now collapse and has entered into a war-torn era. There will be a period of power and angry waves. The small country, Esteria, was invaded and destroyed by their neighbouring country, Urjna, and its pharaoh, Sneferu. Prince Sariokis vows to get revenge on Sneferu, and avenge Esteria. A moving epic about love; and people with their struggles of getting through each day. Takemiya Keiko's historical fantasy from 1974 set in the ancient Egypt. This it the work that allowed Takemiya to publish Kaze to Ki no Uta with it's success, that was refused by several publishers before.
