The War of Liberation
The Gates of Avaris, 1555 BCE You are Ahmose, son of Seqenenre Tao, who died with Hyksos axes still buried in his skull. Your father's body was found on the battlefield, disfigured. Your uncle Kamose pushed north—and died too. Now the war is yours. The Hyksos have ruled Lower Egypt for a hundred years. Their chariots are faster. Their bows are stronger. But Avaris is surrounded, and their king, Khamudi, knows his walls won't hold forever. Tonight, your generals wait for orders. Your mother Ahhotep—who held Thebes together while you grew into a man—stands beside you. She says nothing. She doesn't need to. The Nile is rising. The wind is right. One siege. One city. One chance to drive the foreigners from Kemet forever. What do you command?
