Amenhotep III is dead. An end to a long and definitive reign. His son Amenhotep IV, a privileged & self-absorbed prince ascends the vacant throne. Torn between honouring the precedents of the past and forging a novel path. All while wrestling to temper the ambitions of his beguiling yet sly Queen Consort; in a hostile conspiratory court. Will his radical political and religious reforms kindle progress or fan the flames of destruction?
