The Lost Valor of Love by the author EA Carter is Book 1 in the Transcendence Series. This is the story of a brutal conflict between the Empire of Hatti and Egypt. The story is set during the reign of Ramesses II. The protagonist of the story is a strong female character Istara, daughter of King of Kadesh.
The story starts with people of Kadesh waiting for the Hatti’s King Muwatallis to arrive. People of Kadesh were dying from hunger. When left with no choice, Kadesh’s sing Amunira had to open the gate for Egyptians. When Hatti’s King finally arrived, Amunira had to pay the blood payment for his disloyalty to Hatti. Soon, he saw his wife Azfara dead in front of him. Kadesh’s children and Istara was to be taken to Tarhuntassa, Hatti’s Capital, as hostages. Amunira’s daughter can live as long as Kadesh remain loyal to Hatti.
Urhi-Teshub of Hatti and Sethi of Egypt will impress you. The storyline is so intense and unique. The characters are well developed.
1) Urhi-Teshub – Crown Prince of Hatti
2) Ramesses – Crown Prince of Egypt
3) Sethi – Crown Prince of Egypt’s second-in-command
4) Amunira – Kadesh’s King
5) Azfara – Queen of Kadesh
Author has done amazing work in her debut novel. I really appreciate her years of academic research to write this novel. To have a better understanding of the story, I would recommend other readers to refer the places given in the map. I had to reread few pages in the beginning to understand the characters and the places well but once I got the base, the story went smooth for me. The writing is complex, fresh and unique. The cover of the book is eye catchy and I am excited to read the sequel of this book now.
I recommend this to historical fiction fans.
