Legends of Ancient Egypt - Legends of the ancient world, #1 - E-book - ePub

In ancient Egypt, when the Nile flowed with rich waters and the stars shone over the boundless desert, a young woman named Aset lived in a small farming village. Her life was simple, divided between working in the fields and caring for her family. But since childhood, she had felt a call beyond the routine, like a stirring of the wind urging her to seek something more than the ordinary life of her village.
One evening, during a celebration dedicated to the god Amun-Ra, Aset had a strange dream and disturbing:a huge pyramid rose in front of her, and at its foot, a huge serpent coiled around a golden throne. At the top of the throne, an eye symbol, the Eye of Horus, shone with a bright, almost blinding light. When she woke up, she felt that this dream was more than just a fantasy, it was a sign, a message from destiny.
Shortly after this dream, a soldier of Pharaoh Ramses arrived in her village, looking for a girl with" sapphire eyes", as Aset had been described. When she was brought before the ground, he looked at her in amazement, saying:-The pharaoh has summoned you to the palace. Your fate is tied to that of Egypt. Not knowing what awaits her, Aset left behind everything she knew - her family, her village and her quiet life - and set out on a journey that would to change her destiny forever.
Her heart was beating with excitement and fear at the same time, but somewhere deep in her soul, she knew that this was the call she had been waiting for all her life. On the way to Thebes, the great capital of Egypt, surrounded of mystery and wealth, Aset did not suspect that her dream would become a prophecy, that she herself would become a key piece in the struggle between light and darkness, between love and power, in a story woven from the thread of destiny itself.
