Samenvatting:

She knows she’s destined to kill the man she loves. She just doesn’t know why.

Queen Ankhesenamun’s future depends on producing an heir. Pharaoh Tutankhamun is young and sickly, and if he dies without a son, the throne — and her own survival — will fall into the hands of powerful men she doesn’t trust.

When the royal court leaves the desert city of Akhetaten and returns to ancient Memphis, Ankhesenamun finds herself trapped in a palace of enemies, political rivalries, and priests eager to restore the old gods to power.

Then the man from her dreams appears.

For years, Ankhesenamun has seen visions of a blond-haired stranger she will love — and kill. She knows she should stay away from him. Instead, she risks everything for an affair with the one man who could destroy her completely.

As the dangerous truth about him emerges, Ankhesenamun searches for a way to save him. But saving his life may condemn him to a fate far worse than death.

Queen of Egypt is the first book in a historical fantasy series set in 18th Dynasty Egypt, where the old gods have been worshipped for thousands of years and magic is a matter of belief. Perfect for readers who love royal intrigue, ancient settings, and powerful women fighting for survival.
