King Tutankhamon is dead. The possibly-divine ivory cat Nefru is
still (perhaps) putting a paw into royal Egyptian affairs.
Lord Ay wants a royal wife-Tut's widow, actually-to give him the
blood-right to the throne. She flees marriage with him and finds
long-lost relatives. Princesses Baketamon and Meri have both longed
to be Queen of Egypt-but both find sand in that honey. General
Horemheb (described as being like 'desert red, rectangles and a
lion') has sent Ranofer to find a lady once known as Twitterwit.
Four competitive Hunting Parties from Thebes are searching for some
long-missing princesses. Chief of Police Mahu knows where they all
are, but won't tell. His son Ranofer, who fears he'll never fit his
father's sandals-and fears Horemheb even more-doesn't want to know.
Besotted and delusional Ahmose knows, but his incoherence just
further confuses all four Hunting Parties-who were already at
cross-purposes. A garrulous washerman thinks he knows
everything.
The kitten Katti sometimes gives what might possibly be divine
messages from Nefru (or Bastet?). The massive cat Ab-ram, still
always getting tripped over in doorways, still innocently certain
of his welcome, changes history for all of them.
