River God (Ancient Egypt #1)
Author: Wilbur Smith
Desc: For Tanus the fair-haired young lion of a warrior the gods have decreed that he will lead Egypt's army in a bold attempt to reunite the Kingdom's shared halves. But Tanus will have to defy the same gods to attain the reward they have forbidden him an object more prized than battle's glory: possession of the Lady Lostris a rare beauty with skin the color of oiled ceder--destined for the adoration of a nation and the love of one extraordinary man.
