About the book
Thebes, in the fourth year of the reign. Yami is twenty, a merchant's daughter from a burned Levantine port, entered in a ledger column beside cedar, copper and cattle and walked into the royal household with three hundred and ten others. She is renamed on the spot. She can also read the language the kings of the world write to one another, which is a thing nine people in Egypt can do. Hornakht has been addressed as a god since he was fourteen and has not heard his own name spoken since his coronation. She says it. Over the year that follows she climbs an institution that counts everything, and every rung she takes is taken from a woman standing on it.
