When I picked up His Face is the Sun, I was immediately captivated by its lush, epic setting inspired by Ancient Egypt. The novel introduces the Kingdom of Khetara, a land divided and on the brink of destruction. The pharaoh is wasting away from a mysterious illness, and forces within his family and the southern regions are plotting against him.

The story follows four main characters: Princess Sitamun, Priestess Nefermaat, Rebel Raetawy, and Tomb Robber Karim. Each of them is ripped from their lives and thrown into the conflict, connected by a forgotten oracle that whispers across the land. Sitamun dreams of love and luxury but discovers treachery at the heart of the kingdom. Nefermaat is chosen by the goddess Bast and must leave everything behind to study under the high priest. Raetawy joins a rebellion after witnessing profound injustices, and Karim unwittingly unleashes an ancient evil from a tomb.

As I followed their journeys, I was immersed in a world full of magic, political intrigue, and high stakes. The characters were richly developed, and their paths intertwined in a way that kept me engaged throughout. The story is gripping and intense with an incredible cliff hanger of an ending.

His Face is the Sun is an engrossing fantasy with myriad twists and turns, offering a vivid and immersive experience that fans of the genre will appreciate.
