Cat of Bubastes

by G. A. Henty

In ancient Egypt, Amuba, a young prince from a conquered tribe, finds himself thrust into a world of power and intrigue. He becomes the companion of Chebron, the son of a high priest, and together they uncover a dangerous conspiracy within the priesthood. Their pursuit of justice leads them to a sacred cat, the successor to the revered Cat of Bubastes. When they accidentally kill the chosen feline, they face the wrath of the powerful Egyptian gods and must flee for their lives. This story weaves historical detail with exciting adventure, exploring themes of loyalty, courage, and the consequences of defying tradition.
