Description
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.

5By Gab G26Excellent writing... perfect landscape for the reader's mind ... love🤎🤎🤎Great read! Hard to put down.
5By RLFelderGreat read! Hard to put down!Warm and engaging while being very historical.
5By Mchapman15This is the kind of historical fiction is so thorough that it comes with a bibliography. Somehow, within that context, the author creates deep, complicated and fascinating characters (and a few vapid, selfish ones too). This was a very good read and inspired me to read more of her novels.I bought this back in 2009.
5By Edi AvilaThis is a good book, I read tons of different genres and this one I love. Read it, you won’t regret it.My love
5By Nefer_13Can't believe there's no review. Her best of best, absolutely wonderful book!!Entertaining
3By Gramafkof7This book is an entertaining read not sure how factual it is mainly the story of her younger sister. It can be slow at time's and definitely doesn't show Nefertiti in a good light. She comes across as narcisstic, vain and cruel. Her sister - who tells the story - sounds self-righteous and down right irritating at times also. It's entertaining as a glimpse as to what life may have been like back then. All in all it's entertaining but if your looking for a historical biography about Nefertiti this isn't it.Loved it!
5By Rosa RomeroI love historical fiction and classic literature. This book was not what I expected but it was a pleasant surprise. It's now one of my favorites!AMAZING!!
5By luvlyladyI'm an archaeology major so I find anything historical interesting, and this is one of the best books I've ever had the pleasure of reading. There's romance, suspense, intrigue, and a rare glimpse into the lives of ancient Egyptians. If you like classical historical fiction books the you'll love this. Buy it, you won't regret it! Michelle is a superb writer!Terrific
