Who was Moses in ancient Egypt? Two Sons from Egypt reveals the untold story of Moses, Thutmose III and Hatshepsut, Egypt’s first female pharaoh. Set in the 18th dynasty of Egypt, Two Sons from Egypt portrays the clash of these powerful personalities in their struggle for the throne of Egypt and their destinies.

Romance, betrayal and intrigue fill the pages of this fact based account of Moses’ years in Egypt and the building of two nations.

The first in The Lion Awakes series, Two Sons from Egypt is based on new and rediscovered facts that bring to life one of history’s most epic tales. Escape from Paradise, book II; Out of the Desert, book III; and A Crimson Cord, book IV, follow in The Lion Awakes series.
