This is one of my favorite Henty books. It tells the story of Amuba, prince of the Rebu, who is carried a slave into Egypt. He becomes the servant of Ameres, the high priest of Osiris. He becomes a close friend of Chebron the son of Ameres. When Chebron accidentally kills the sacred cat of Bubastes, Amuba is blamed with Chebron. After many adventures, they escape to the land of the Rebu, where Amuba takes his rightful position as king.
