Under a (frankly) uninspired title lies an ambitious and very inspired graphic novel. The story dives into ancient Egyptian history and follows the encounters and adventures (for lack of a better word) of the two daughters of Ramses III (May the Gods Grant Him Long Life, Health and Strength). There's a plot to assassinate the Pharaoh, ancient mysteries surrounding the Great Criminal (Pharaoh Akhenaten), magic, curses, action, hebrew proto-history and much more. The artwork is precise and lush, full of detail and immersive. It's not a casual read (I spent over a week on this reading nearly every night) but it's hugely rewarding. Incidentally, it wood make a fantastic synopsis for a Vikings or Rome style TV series... It's also a great and much recommended inspiration for the upcoming Nephilim Légendes RPG.
