RIVER GOD

In the city of Thebes, at the Festival of Osiris, loyal subjects of the Pharaoh gather to pay homage. But Taita, a wise and formidably gifted eunuch slave, sees him only as a symbol of a kingdom's fading glory. Beside Taita stand his protégés: Lostris, daughter of Lord Intef, beautiful beyond her fourteen years; and Tanus, a proud young army officer, who has vowed to avenge the death, at Intef's hand, of his father, and seize Lostris as his prize. Together they share a dream - to restore the majesty of the Pharaoh of Pharaohs on the glittering banks of the Nile.
