Egypt, a four thousand year old civilization, has now collapsed and entered into a war-torn era.

There will be a period of power and angry waves. The small country, Esteria, was invaded and destroyed by their neighbouring country, Urjna, and its pharaoh, Sneferu. Prince Sariokis vows to get revenge on Sneferu, and avenge Esteria.

Takemiya Keiko's historical fantasy from 1974 set in the ancient Egypt. This is the work that allowed Takemiya to publish 'Kaze to Ki no Uta' with it's success, that was refused by several publishers before.
