I am Taita the Slave. I was sold into slavery when I was a child, and I grew up as a slave in the land of Egypt. I was the slave of Lord Intef - the most powerful man in Upper Egypt. Lostris was his only child and it was my job to protect her. On the day when my story begins I was thirty years old. That day, the River Nile was shining as brightly as metal under the desert sun.
I was sitting in a long boat - a galley. The men who rowed the galley were soldiers of Pharaoh Mamose, King of Egypt. Lostris sat in the bow of the boat.
