Love, intrigue, jewels, gold-laden tombs, traditional curses, Egyptian princesses, a dysfunctional English family, a heroic archaeologist, a conniving thief, a wicked and vengeful heir to a 4,000-year-old type of Egyptian kings all come together on the Nile in 1900s Cairo in a tale only L. Frank Baum - inventor of the Oz stories - could inform along with his adventure-tipped and action-filled pen. And no finer adventure and action-packed tale originated from Baum's quill than The Last Egyptian: A Love of the Nile. With her dying breath, Hatatcha, an Egyptian princess and grandmother to Kara - the last in the bloodline of Egypt's Ahtka Ra, the man behind the power of Rameses II - extracts from her grandson a promises to satisfy her desire for revenge on the English Lord who promised her matrimony in London years earlier but cast her out - pregnant and ashamed - to come back penniless to her meager hut in Abu Fedah over the bankers of the Nile. In Hatatcha's last instructions, Kara discovers prosperity beyond his imaginings in Ahtka Ra's treasure-filled tomb, and starts his surge from the desert's dust particles to the richest night clubs and apartments in every of Cairo. As he climbs the stairs to popularity as Prince Kara, he plots his grandmother's revenge on the family that threw Hatatcha away, pregnant though she was with Kara's mom. As Kara goes up to the pinnacle of Cario's population, he is accompanied by Tadros, a two-faced, ever-greedy accomplice, known as a dragoman, whose only desire is to set his storage compartments with Kara's gold, find Ahtka Ra's tomb, and play any game necessary to accomplish his goal. The road toward that goal works right although Consinor family - Lord Roane and his kid, Viscount Roger Consinor, and Roger's young daughter, Aneth. It is the Consinors whom Kara looks for to spoil, even to the idea of deceiving innocent Aneth. In the gaming tables of 1 of Cairo's most private night clubs to the Ministry of Fund, to a blackmail-threatened matrimony, Kara lays the groundwork for Roane's, Roger's, and Aneth's downfall. Eager to ruin Kara's nefarious game is the young, good looking, and noted English archaeologist, Gerald Winston Bey, a guy of prosperity and elegance who, having been the main one to discover Kara when the Egyptian was still an unhealthy man in the dusty village of Abu Fedah, has learned full well of what vile treachery the Last Egyptian is competent. With the ingenious help of Mrs. Everingham - Aneth's savvy and love-smart good friend and confidant - Winston plots a counterplay in hopes of dashing Kara's hate-fueled program. The Last Egyptian: A Love of the Nile, like Cairo and the Egyptian tombs themselves, is filled up with twists and turns, excitement and terror, harrowing near-misses, jewels a-plenty, and love that discovers its way even through the darkest waters of the Nile itself.
