Amenhotep, Son of Hapu A Tale of Egypt Book 1, Scribe's Ascent

One of the most realistic, fictional accounts of ancient Egyptian life ever penned, Scribe’s Ascent is the first novel in the Amenhotep, Son of Hapu: A Tale of Egypt series. As Egypt’s foremost éminent grise, Amenhotep narrates in Scribe’s Ascent his rise from a miserable provincial backwater to a position second only to Pharaoh’s in power. The story unfolds as Egypt is on the verge of a cultural and religious upheaval that threatens everything the aged scribe cherishes. Tenaciously devoted to tradition, betrayed by his family, and with a new king, his one-time pupil, plotting to destroy him, Amenhotep now understands he played a pivotal role in triggering the coming catastrophe, an era later called the Amarna Revolution.” To avoid everlasting damnation, Amenhotep begins to plead his case: that his single purpose in life was to preserve the established order—the perfection of things at the beginning—against change, confusion, and chaos.Willey, Blake is the author of 'Amenhotep, Son of Hapu A Tale of Egypt Book 1, Scribe's Ascent' with ISBN 9781424123254 and ISBN 1424123259.
