Description - God King by Joanne Williamson

Set in Ancient Egypt around 701 BC, this new tale centres on Prince Taharka, a minor royal son who is content to have no part in ruling. However, it is he who unexpectedly succeeds to the throne. As Taharka grows older, he becomes resigned to the duties of being a "god", and begins to look forward to his marriage. Then, a treacherous plot pushes him into exile and into the hands of Amos, an emissary sent to seek help for Judea from the Egyptians against the Assyrians. Far from home, near Jerusalem, Taharka encounters two kings in conflict. One is the mighty Assyrian, Sennacherib, promising alliance; the other is Hezekiah, the Jew who trusts in his God. Taharka must choose with whom to live or die. Inspired by historical research, this book contains an introduction, and home-education suggestions.
