Summary "Uarda: a Romance of Ancient Egypt — Volume 09" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. This engrossing narrative transports readers to Ancient Egypt, depicting the intertwining lives of its characters amidst political intrigue and conflict, specifically focusing on the impending battle at Kadesh. Central to the story is Pentaur, a priest and poet, who becomes embroiled in dangerous events surrounding the betrayal of the Egyptian army by a traitor named Paaker. The opening portion of the volume introduces a tense moment as Pentaur and his companions navigate treacherous terrain, evading hostile forces while seeking to regroup with the Egyptian army on the cusp of battle. As they endeavor to find shelter from the elements and potential foes, they uncover a hidden cave where they discover Horus, the imprisoned brother of the traitor Paaker. Horus reveals a plot against the king and urges Pentaur to act swiftly to prevent disaster. The gripping exchange sets the stage for a thrilling alliance against the backdrop of war, highlighting themes of loyalty, treachery, and heroism as they race against time to save their homeland from impending doom.
