Description

For many years Thu has lived in exile where she has written down the tragic history of her life as Pharaoh's favourite concubine. Now, a young soldier has read her words and believes in them. When he shows the manuscript to his general, he sets in motion a stirring drama of revenge and punishment, miraculous disclosures and unexpected vindication.
