Summary: 3 Stars
" `Ast!' came Wenamon's hiss.
`I told you we were not alone!'
`We will be soon,' Gebu answered in tones that
turned Ranofer cold.
Ranofer's greatest wish is to become a normal person of Egypt and to be the pupil of Zau, the great goldsmith. As Zau had said to him, "You must reshape your life into another form," Ranofer must find a way to gain his freedom and change his life.
Ranofer is an Egyptian orphan. His father died ten months ago. He is now under the guardianship of Gebu, his half brother. He is apprenticed to Sata at the goldsmith shop. Gebu is a stonecutter. He always goes to violence and calling names when someone does something wrong.
Every time Ranofer gets paid in coppers at the goldsmith shop, Gebu takes them away. He is like a slave who earns money for Gebu. Every morning he gets the remains of Gebu's breakfast. This has to last until dinner. He has to take home wine for his brother which is made by a thieving friend of Gebu.
When Ranofer finds out that his half-brother is stealing from tombs, he sees his chance for freedom if he warns the pharaoh of Egypt. But can Ranofer gain his freedom before Gebu finds out that he is spying?
This book is fairly paced, but with bursts of activity from time to time. I recomend this book to anyone who loves books of ancient Egypt or adventures.
