Ahmose is the menial priest who looks after the menagerie at the temple of Amon Ra. He is also a secret devotee of the Aton. The vengeful Ra transforms him into a golden bird, damned to live forever and only incarnate into a man for a few days every five centuries. During the bird’s wandering, the curse of Ra is drawn down onto those Ahmose encounters. The alchemists, Helen Maat and Dinan, and the soldier, Gerard Jorden, are also condemned to immortality. The first chapters of The Aton Bird and a wider selection of books can be viewed at www.dandi.me.uk/dodo
