PLOT

AFTER 2,000 YEARS OF SLEEP, RAMSES THE GREAT LIVES

When archaeologist Lawrence Stratford uncovers the tomb of Ramses the Great, he unwittingly brings a havoc of destruction and desire to Egypt and Edwardian London.

JULIE, his beautiful, strong-willed daughter, heir to his fortune, is awakened by Ramses to a dizzying sensuality she has never known before.

ELLIOTT, the enigmatic Earl of Rutherford, at the mercy of a crippling disease, becomes obsessed by Ramses and the power that he holds.

RAMSES himself, golden and glorious, the man who has a god's secret in his possession.  Overflowing with superabundant life, he must feed constantly the appetites he can never assuage.

And the mortals who share Ramses own sensuous zest for pleasure are those most at risk from unceasing desire for Cleopatra...

CRAIG'S REVIEW

I can't really say much about this book other then its an amazing powerful, passionate book about love and imortality that takes us from Egypt to Edwardian London and back to Egypt again.  Very compelling and the depth of characters makes you wonder if this is fiction.  I hope Anne decides to make a sequal to this book and that this book is made into a movie.  This book is a must read for everyone!
