The Forest of Myrrh (Imhotep #3)

As the third novel about the time-travelling ancient Egyptian begins, Imhotep’s beloved wife is dying, his most powerful patron has been murdered and the Third Dynasty is descending into chaos. Desperate, Imhotep recruits an unlikely ally to help him save Meryt and to discover the killer of the Voice of Re. However, his search is interrupted by a revolt that tears the Two Lands in half. Driven to the Temple of Khnum at the southern fringe of the dying empire, Imhotep frantically tries to find a way to help his family escape. His efforts lead him to a new world where he journeys to the fabled Land of Punt and frantically tries to save Pharoah Hatshepsut from a merciless assassin in the forest of myrrh.

"The Forest of Myrrh" is a sequel to "The Buried Pyramid" and to "Imhotep," highly praised time-travel novels set in ancient Egypt.
