The Lady of Abu Simbel
Despite the tremendous shock of the Battle of Kadesh, Ramses has not managed to bring the formidable Hittite Empire to its knees. But rather than continue the struggle, he decides to engage in negotiation.
For in Ramses life the love he bears the Great Royal Consort Nefertari easily surpasses his enjoyment of the challenges of war.
To show his love for Nefertari to the world, Ramses decides to offer her the most fabulous of gifts: at Abu Simbel two temples will be erected, symbols of their eternal love.
But meanwhile, shadows are gathering, from Nubia to the Pharaoh's own capital Pi-Ramses, where Ramses must come face to face with Moses, the childhood friend whom he had lost sight of so many years before. Moses who has returned to Egypt to demand the exodus of the Hebrew people.
Faced with these dangers, will the vigilance of Pharaoh's loyal servants and the magic of Nefertari, the Lady of Abu Simbel, be sufficient to protect The Son of the Light?
 
Under the Western Acacia
Ramses is now fifty; after bringing outstanding prosperity to Egypt, he could have hoped to enjoy a serene old age. But his legendary destiny does not permit this: he must still continue to rule. Above all, Ramses strives to preserve Egypt's hard-won peace, in spite ot so many obstacles -the hittite Emperor exhorts him to wed his daughter under the threat of a new war; and the Libyans, greedy for revenge, are rebelling....
Ramses is still the miracle worker, the Son of the Light who is able to modify the climate, transform an enemy into an ally and win the support of the divine powers. But, with the passing of the last forty years of his reign, he cannot prevent time from robbing him of one after another of his lifelong friends, and with each death, he is a little more isolated in his quest to confront Egypt's enemies;
And when, in his old age, the time comes for him to meet his final enemy, Ramses goes to sit in the shade of the Western Acacia to prepare for his last journey. Only then can the scribe Ahmeni, who has faithfully served his sovereign for the sixty-seven years of his reign, lay down his brush.
