Darkness Visible

Ramses feels compelled to take the "e;square scroll"e; Agenor found in a cave outside Nubia to Tanis, a scholar in Thebes. Inside that city, Prince Avaris is crowned king. His father, Serapis, was found murdered the night before. Kamose, his younger brother, runs off with Avaris's concubine, to Kadesh. Avaris declares war. In no time, the Nubians prove their superiority. They plan to catapult the walls of Kadesh and invade the city. Now desperate, King Ajax sends Kamose to his brother with an offer to buy the concubine. Avaris answers by dragging Kamose around the city walls tied behind his horse. King Ajax has only one option left. He asks King Shipharah to intervene. Weeks later, Avaris is murdered in his sleep. This ends the war. But Tanis, the man who assassinated Avaris, is found out and he's stabbed outside the walls of Thebes. As a result, Ramses and Agenor are left to finish his research. In the end, Agenor reveals the long-hidden secrets on the "e;square scroll."e; This action shakes the very foundations of Hyksos society in every city on that planet.
