  • "Huy has risen from lowly origins to become the Seer of the King. Yet Amunhotep's patronage is a blessing and a curse to Huy, who feels imprisoned by the gift Thoth has imposed on him and by the life he must live to keep it. Though rewarded by wealth and influence, Huy longs for the pleasures of those he sees around him, especially love, which he fears may be forever lost to him. But when the King calls for help, Huy has no choice: He cannot refuse. Although the life he's always known is coming to an end, his contribution to Egyptian history is only just beginning."

  • "Le roi demande à Huy d'interpréter le rêve de Thoutmès, l'héritier du trône d'Horus. Huy obéit non sans réticence mais réalise qu'on se sert de lui pour détrôner Amenhotep de sa place de dieu prédominant. Effrayé à l'idée de perdre sa protection et de mettre l'Egypte en danger, il décide de cacher la vérité.--[Memento]."
  • "Huy is the Seer of the King but feels imprisoned by the gift imposed on him and by the life he must ilve to keep it. When the King demands Huy's presence at court to interpret a dream on behalf of Thothmes, the heir to the Horus Throne, Huy reluctantly obeys. He soon realizes he is being asked to approve an invention aimed at supplanting Amun as the country's pre-eminent god. Afraid of losing his patron's favour, Huy fails to reveal the truth, thus putting Egypt's future in jeopardy."
