A wonderful fantasy adventure series of ancient times.

Armies clashing for a kingdom's power. Men raging for a woman's love. The legendary Children of the Lion, a people without a nation, marked by fate with a secret passed from father to son, now join their special destiny to that of the true ruler of Egypt, exiled in the Upper Nile's land.

To the north, the Golden Pharaoh, cruel usurper of the throne, is building his fabulous kingdom with the blood of slaves while a terrible madness drives him to seek absolute power over the entire ancient world.

To the south, in darkest Nubia, cities are burned by the torches of rebels or captured by mysterious invaders called "The Black Wind."

Driven to battle by encroaching war, the Children of the Lion begin an unforgettable adventure that will make them wield the shining weapons of conquerers and daringly rescue the passtionate, beautiful women who possess their line's future and hearts.
