Eyes Of Horus

Ra-ab, son of a priestess of Ra and heir to the Nomarch of the Oryx, grows up in a corrupt land devoted to the worship of Set, the Lord of Fear. When an adult, he joins a conspiracy known as the "Eyes of Horns, " which is dedicated to breaking the rule of fear and lifting the shadows of lust, greed, and cruelty from Egypt. When all effort to avoid war fails, it is Ra-ab who leads the "Eyes of Horus" into battle against the old regime and its evil priests.This is one of the most exciting of all of Joan Grant's "far memory" novels, richly recreating the glory of one of ancient Egypt's golden moments, and illustrating the principles and values of good government.
