Beginning of an Empire

About the Book

The beginning of the Egyptian empire first started out being split into two areas; the north and the south. This story follows five students of mixed backgrounds who are being instructed by a wise Sage with a mysterious past. As Weneg teaches the students about the start of their country of Kemet, the past is sometimes too much for him to bare. Will Weneg follow through with the King’s command and teach or will he shy away from the task? The students will learn about twin brothers who are destined to fulfill their father’s dream of uniting the two lands and build one united empire. Problems arise as the older prince is plagued with his queens seeming inability to bare a child. Even though the queen is frustrated with no immediate sign of pregnancy, the future King fights to bring his father’s dream to reality.
