In Amarna during the time of the heretic pharaoh Akhenaton, the
master sculptor Thutmose meets a mysterious woman who is is the
pharaoh's service. She has wandered since her people were killed,
but is haunted by memories. Drawn together by his art, their love
commences. The pharaoh sickens, there is danger from the political
turmoil. With the death of the pharoah, Thutmose knows Amarna will
be deserted and his art works destroyed.
Pregnant, she leaves Amarna and travels north along the
Mediterranean. She is adopted by a clan that trades and makes
jewelry. Her son, greatly talented, becomes a master jeweler. Her
new family, though menaced by robbers and bandits along the trade
route, flourishes. She yearns for Thutmose still, even as her son
reaches manhood and establishes his own family. She ages, weakens,
and still is waiting for Thutmose, her great love. This is a story
of yearning, of the way love is passed through the generations.
Will Thutmose ever leave Egypt to be with her?
