The Reed Fields
by Brandon Campbell
A stunning, heart-pounding, journey into the lost world of ancient Egypt.
The Reed Fields, An Egyptian Tragedy is a reading experience unlike any other. In 364 BCE, Akua-Mat was a young priest eager to serve the people of his country the best he could. Then, mysteriously, the priesthood uprooted his life by forbidding his marriage and sending him away. Akua unwillingly accepted this voluntary exile and watched his life crumble.
When he eventually lands in Athens, Greece he miraculously uncovers the reasons behind his exile. While there, he decides to return to Egypt and labor to put his life back together.
Akua’s natural and learned spiritual gifts manifest into a unique and beautiful gift to Egypt. He was able to touch the hearts of many in a way that few ever could.
**From the Author
This novel is about ancient Egypt. I had fun and learned a lot writing it. I spent 10 years
writing and editing it and am happy to have it be available. What I'm most proud of is the
spiritual premise of the book. I really tried to create more than just a good, solid story.
I wanted to present an overview of religion and worship to the many gods in that time and
I hope I achieved it. The main character, Akua-Mat is one, like me, to question religious beliefs.
I tried to have him search for the inconsistencies present in the religious dogma of the time.
If you decide to read The Reed Fields, I sincerely hope you enjoy it. Nothing would make me happier than to know this story provided value to you in some way!
