The Oasis

In this second volume of the Lords of the Two Lands trilogy, Kamose, austere eldest son of the slain Tao prince Seqenenra, assumes leadership of the Egyptian rebellion against the foreign Hyksos rulers and begins a perilous sweep north, up the river Nile, toward the delta strongholds of his enemy, the Pharaoh Apepa. Supported by his brothers and the women of his family, Kamose makes a desperate effort to vanquish his powerfully entrenched enemies, to save his family, to liberate his country, and to restore the native gods of Egypt to their former glory.
