Goodreads: 4.23/5
Ancient Egypt. Land of the Pharoahs. The Valley of the Kings lies ravaged by war, drained of its lifeblood as weak men inherit the cherished crown.
In the city of Thebes, at the Fesitval of Osiris, loyal subjects of the Pharaoh gather to pay homage to their leader. But Taita - a wise and formidably gifted eunuch slave - sees him only as a symbol of a kingdom’s fading glory.
Beside Taita stand his proteges: Lostris. daughter of Lord Intef, beautiful beyond her years; and Tanus, proud young army officer, who has vowed to avenge the death - at Intef’s hand - of his father, and seize Lostris as his prize. Together they share a dream - to restore the majesty of the true Pharaoh of Pharaohs on the glittering banks of the Nile.

Note: There’s writing on the first page from a previous owner - but they said it’s a good read, so I’ll take it as an endorsement. There’s also a scratch on the back cover.
