Description
Grief and power were always going to go hand in hand for the heir to the Empire, but that doesn't mean Iset is prepared.
When Iset discovers her father is sick, she has to come to terms with exactly what that means, including the possibility that she'll be ruling an empire much sooner than she expected to be.
After the worst news she can imagine, Iset isn't sure she has what it takes to organise mummification, and funerals, as well as juggle the politics of becoming the new Pharaoh.
But with her Sekhmet Blessed bodyguard by her side, perhaps she stands a chance.

Reviews
good story
4By Ambermoon86While the content was a lot more serious than most books I read, it is an important topic and this book was well written. It was different reading about a romance in the middle of the grief of loss, but I enjoyed the book. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.Powerful and Raw
5By LisaCloverNeed tissues because the emotion is powerful and raw dealing with sadness, heartache and grief. The author does have a disclaimer indicating this very warning. Death of a parent is a very trying moment and the author using her stories to alleviate the strength of her own personal grief is a great outlet. It’s perfect for Crown Princess Iset who is the heir to the Crown of Pharaoh. Her story along with her Royal Sekhmet bodyguard Nahresi is a compassionate tale and we do get to hear from Ani. This novella is a companion to Ani’s, Apprentice of Anubis series and follows after Ani’s book 8 and during book 9. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.Good
5By pc1128Crown of Grief an Egyptian empire story was a really good book. I love it it’s interesting I had a hard time putting it down. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.Grief
5By christinaravenI enjoyed this story even though it had a hard plot line about the death of a father. Although the story was sad it did have its moments that made me sigh and lightly laugh through the pain it showed. I did like seeing the Princess meet Ani from her point of view. And there was a bit of light at the end. A good story about a pivotal point in this series told well.Poignant
5By MA2674Absolutely this is a book about grief but also about life and how it moves though sadness lingers. Set in the world of Pharaohs and empires it’s odd to think that being the heir the thing you prepare for most in your life to be the next ruler comes only after suffering a huge loss. I think we can all relate to Iset and her grief and the journey that comes after. While we most likely will not be gaining a crown we all have to learn in our own way how to accept the burden of that grief and to continue to live our lives the best we can. A sad, poignant topic to be sure but a beautiful story of love, loss and life. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
