Strong is the Ma'at of Re
A Novel of Ancient Egypt
In Ancient Egypt around 1200 BCE, ambition festers behind palace walls while gods turn their faces away from the land. Ramesses III, son of a usurper and heir to a turbulent kingdom, strives to rebuild the glory of the past. Taking on the throne name of Usermaatre--"Strong is the Ma'at of Re"--he wages war, builds monuments, and raises sons to secure his dynasty.
But within the royal court, conflict brews. Tiye, the first wife of Ramesses, watches her hopes of queenship and legacy fade with each son she loses. The rise of a new heir, born to the king's sister-wife, fuels bitterness, intrigue, and desperate ambition. As famine, unrest, and divine silence grip the Two Lands, treachery seeps into the palace itself.
This gripping trilogy reimagines the life and death of Ramesses III and the chilling conspiracy that brought Egypt's last warrior pharaoh to his knees. From the heights of power to the depths of betrayal, Strong is the Ma'at of Re explores the cost of empire, the weight of legacy, and the perilous divide between faith and fate.
