Harnakhte is the son of the governor of a small town in the very
south of Egypt, and Apet-hesit is one of pharaoh's numerous
granddaughters. They meet as children and swear an oath to love
each other forever. Six years pass and Harnakhte leaves his
parent's home to look for his bride in Pi-Ramses. During the time
of separation, Apet-hesit's mother was killed by a holy crocodile.
Apet-hesit avenges her mother's death and kills the creature. The
priests want to execute the killer of the holy crocodile, but don't
know who is to blame. Apet-hesit's father fancies his chances to
succeed as pharaoh, but he needs money to finance his plan, and
sells Apet-hesit as a slave. Then he has her abducted and taken to
Sharakh, a secret city in the desert where he hides her from her
owner. Harnakhte arrives in Pi-Ramses to find Apet-hesit gone. He
manages to find the city of Sharakh, but is imprisoned. The people
of Sharakh train one of their girls to act as Apet-hesit and show
her to Harnakhte to distract him from the real Apet-hesit. The
lovesick man is taken in. Court politics intervene and the two
lovers are kept apart. Will Harnakhte ever recognize his true love?
Find out in the historical novel Apet-hesit: Scarred for Life.
