Jeanne D'Aout

Opis

It all starts with a ring, inlaid with a seemingly insignificant black stone. Discovered on its own by the famous archaeologist Flinders Petrie, the stone had not been recognised for what it was, for up until the fall of Jerusalem in the 6th century BCE it had always been one of a pair. As a pair, these stones had been used for divination in Biblical times. Together they are known as the Urim and Thummim.
Determined to find the highly valued, lost stone and bring the separated pair together once again, a powerful secret order sends a team of intrepid researchers back in time to the era of the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten, only to discover a much greater enigma.
"In The Eye of Ra, Jeanne D'Aout cleverly uses fiction to bring alive ancient Egypt and its magic. A most entertaining and fun book to read " - Robert Bauval, author of The Orion Mystery
"The Eye of Ra is a brilliant new esoteric thriller that captivates the reader from the start. Intelligent, well-informed and absorbing, it propels you on a dangerous quest to Akhenaten's Egypt. If you are a fan of Dan Brown or Umberto Eco, then strap yourself in for a wild ride through ancient lands, intrigue and Egyptian magic. I highly recommend it." - Andrew Gough, presenter of historical documentaries and Editor-in-Chief of the Heretic Magazine
"A real page-turner, great plot, fast moving and a fun read " - Tim Wallace-Murphy, Writer, TV Personality & Lecturer
