Description
For readers of The Wolf Den and Kaikeyi comes the thrilling tale of the forgotten daughter of a legendary Egyptian pharaoh and the path she must take to escape her own dangerous fate.
There are many paths to power.
They all come with a price.
Neferura, princess and high priestess of Kemet, knows her duty is to her people. When your mother is the great Pharaoh, it is hard to forget. But Neferura’s unique position at court comes with high stakes for her country, especially when she’s forced to serve her vile half-brother, a man determined to stop Neferura’s potential rise.
Peace, it seems, never lasts for women who wield power in the open. Especially when they cross a vengeful man.
When Neferura overhears Thutmose’s plot to end her mother’s rule, she knows he must be stopped, no matter the cost. The discovery of a mysterious tattooed wisewoman and her shadowy network of spies offers an uneasy alliance. But the wisewoman wields more power than Neferura knew possible — power with the potential to rival her own. Neferura must decide where her loyalties lie and how much she’s willing to sacrifice to protect the people she loves before everything crumbles at the hands of a tyrant.
About the Author
B
orn in Lehi, Utah, I lived among the mountains until my early twenties, when I made my way to the big city. I’ve been in Chicago ever since. I adore the energy, diversity, and vibe of Chicago and Oak Park, where I currently live with my two kids and our two spoiled Frenchies.
I have a background in ancient history. I earned MAs in Greek and Roman history and the history of the ancient Near East before getting my Ph.D. in Egyptian history from the University of Chicago. While at UC, I also created two children and started a small business. I’m a creative soul at heart and have long enjoyed crafting stories that feature and promote ancient Egyptian settings, characters and artifacts.
While I spend much of my time writing–and balancing writing with kids and career–I’m happy to head off on a real life adventure anytime I get the chance. I’ve wandered through Havana with my kids, shopped the souks of Bangkok and Istanbul, eaten my way through Italy, enjoyed deep sea diving in Bermuda, and, of course, trekked the ruins of Egypt. Oh, and I’m a pretty social gal—I love making new friends. So I’d be happy if you’d find me on Twitter. And if you’d like to keep in touch, please subscribe to my newsletter here for more about ancient Egypt and my adventures in writing.
