Winged Pharaoh (Paperback)

This is the story, told in the first person, of a co-ruler of Egypt of the First Dynasty - Sekeeta, a priestess rigorously trained in the temple, joined in ceremonial marriage to her brother Neyah. Sekeeta's happy childhood, her training for command, a brief love affair resulting in the birth of a daughter, the repulse of a foreign invasion and a fulfilled old age make up the skeleton of 'the account of a life and way of life so full that one could be tempted to think the author must have lived it'.
