NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A “compulsively readable” (Diana Gabaldon) novel teeming with love, betrayal, and religious conflict that brings ancient Egypt to vivid life, from the author of Cleopatra’s Daughter and Maria

“Meticulously researched and richly detailed . . . an engrossing tribute to one of the most powerful and alluring women in history.”—The Boston Globe

Nefertiti and her younger sister, Mutnodjmet, have been raised in a powerful family that has provided wives to the rulers of Egypt for centuries. Ambitious, charismatic, and beautiful, Nefertiti is destined to marry Amunhotep, an unstable young pharaoh. It is hoped that her strong personality will temper the young ruler’s heretical desire to forsake Egypt’s ancient gods.

From the moment of her arrival in Thebes, Nefertiti is beloved by the people, but she fails to see that powerful forces are plotting against her husband’s reign. The only person brave enough to warn the queen is her younger sister, yet remaining loyal to Nefertiti will force Mutnodjmet into a dangerous political game—one that could cost her everything she holds dear.

I am drawn to books about Egypt but they must be well written and follow history to a large degree. Not since Wilbur Smith have I enjoyed a book regarding Egypt so much. She made the daily life of the Royals come alive. It was awe inspiring.

I really enjoyed this book. The plot was captivating in the same way that a reality show is, but beautifully written and read. The events that occur keep you wanting to find out more. I watched some documentaries on Nefertiti toward the end of the book, and the book was spot on! It was nice to realize that I knew the names of the people and cities that were talked about. Overall, I totally recommend it!

Learn history through a wonderful story!

Excellent story, narration & presentation.
A rare gem. Ms. Campbell covered the characters range of emotions with true talent. The story was unwound with ample cultural detail to be interesting and insightful of life 3,300 years ago.

An excellent story

Facinating, engrossing and obsessive! These are all adjetives that I'm using to describe this book! Especially, the obsessive, as I couldn't stop thinking about the story and it's characters, between 'listenings'. The narration was terrific,very engaging and I'll look for more by this narrator. And, I will most certainly look forward to the author's next book!

Facinating!!
