Despite the victorious battle of Kadesh, Ramses had not succeeded in permanently subduing the warlike Hittites. Once again, the Pharaoh and his troops find themselves in enemy territory. At court, moreover, his opponents are stubbornly at work. Above all, his power-hungry brother Chenar, his duplicitous sister Dolente and the Libyan magician Ofir. In Nubia, the royal couple narrowly escape deadly traps. The pharaoh wants to erect a monument to his indestructible love for Nefertari - two rock temples in Abu Simbel. Ramses does not yet know what terrible fate awaits him there.
