Queen of Egypt: The Amarna Age #1

She knows she's going to kill the man she loves. She just doesn't know why yet.

Ankhesenamun, Queen of Egypt, has one task: secure the future of the fragile 18th Dynasty by bearing an heir. Her husband, Tutankhamun, is too frail to rule for long, and his advisors are already making plans for a future without him.

When the royal court relocates from the fading city of Akhetaten to ancient Memphis, Ankhesenamun finds herself surrounded by shifting allegiances and entangled in a web of secrets. Her nights are haunted by visions of a foreign man with pale hair—visions that end in blood and heartbreak.

When this man arrives at court, very much alive, Ankhesenamun’s carefully managed world begins to unravel. She knows she should keep her distance. She knows what the dreams foretold. But knowing isn’t always enough.

Drawn to him by a bond she doesn’t understand, Ankhesenamun surrenders to love—defying omens, gods, and the plans of men. As truth and illusion blur, she must decide what kind of queen she wants to become—and what she's willing to sacrifice to keep control of her own story.

Queen of Egypt is book 1 in a series set in 18th Dynasty Egypt in a world where the old gods have been worshipped for thousands of years and magic is a matter of belief. For readers of historical fantasy who enjoy an ancient world setting.

Narrated by Catherine Bilson.
