The Last Egyptian: A Romance of the Nile

Set against the backdrop of Egypt, the novel follows English Egyptologist Winston Bey, who encounters K ra, a young man claiming descent from a powerful advisor to Rameses II. As K ra uncovers family secrets and a hidden treasure, he vows revenge on his estranged grandfather, Lord Roane. The story weaves themes of corruption, betrayal, and adventure, diverging from Baum's well-known fantasy style while still appealing to both fans of his Oz series and new readers. This edition presents a classic reimagined for contemporary audiences.
