Pharaohs rule has been rendered largely symbolic. The kingdoms nobility has fallen on hard times. Subjected to abuse and misery, the masses of common people are ripe for revolt. Twenty-two-year-old Crown Prince Ramses is a man of action and of conflicting traits. Charismatic bold and stubborn, but also reasonable and possessing a deep sense of fair play, he sets into motion policies to avert a coming crisis. But he comes up against Egypts entrenched High Council of Archpriests who act to thwart the princes efforts. Conflict ensues. The nation and the army all side with the young ruler, as do government officials and even many of the younger priests. The council has only their wealth, about a thousand allies, barely a few military units, and an unusually smart organizing ability. As uneven as these odds are the outcome is far from certain, and especially when Egypts gods choose sides. The consequent power struggle threatens the ancient world with the collapse of the social order.
