IN AN AGE WHEN THE WORLDS OF SPIRIT AND MATTER STOOD CLOSE TOGETHER...
Born into the royal house of ancient Egypt, Sekeeta grows up in a civilization that understands life very differently from our own. Guided by sages, healers, and teachers, she is trained not only in the arts of government, but in a way of seeing the world in which the visible and invisible are still intimately connected.
As she passes through the trials that prepare her for her destiny, Sekeeta and her brother are called to fulfill different but complementary paths. Through spiritual discipline, kingship, sacrifice, and service, each develops powers the other lacks. Together they must learn how wisdom and authority, woman and man, can work as one in the service of Egypt.
Rich in historical detail and animated by Joan Grant's remarkable evocation of the ancient world, Winged Pharaoh is her most celebrated novel-a powerful portrait of a civilization in which the worlds of spirit and matter still stood close together.
Joan Grant (1907-1989) was the author of a remarkable series of historical novels celebrated for their vivid settings, memorable characters, and unusual depth of psychological and spiritual insight. Her books continue to inspire readers throughout the world.
