Publisher Comments:

New York Times bestselling author Wilbur Smith offers a thrilling look at the world of Ancient Egypt in THE QUEST

Egypt has been struck by a series of terrible plagues, killing its crops and crippling its people.

Then the ultimate disaster befalls the kingdom: The Nile fails.

In desperation, the Pharaoh sends the warlock Taita, wise in the lore of the gods and a master of magic and the supernatural.

But not even he could have imagined what terrible enemy waits in ambush in those dark lands at the end of their world. Now it’s up to Taita to save Egypt—before the end of the world’s most glorious civilization draws near.

“Smith brings to life…the world of Egypt so much so you can almost feel the heat and taste the dust as the narrative builds to cracking pace.”—Irish News

Synopsis:

"New York Times" bestselling author Smith returns with the next installment of his thrilling Egyptian series. Following on from "River God, The Seventh Scroll," and "Warlock, The Quest" continues the story of the Warlock, Taita, master of magic and the supernatural.
