Few can boast the accomplishments of Nefertiti: an extremely beautiful and adored woman, she was also the only female pharaoh of Ancient Egypt, mother-in-law of Tutankhamun and wife of Amunhotep.
Seen through the eyes of her betrayed sister, Mutny, we watch as the bewitching Nefertiti's marriage to Prince Amunhotep inspires them to begin building a lavish city in their own honour. And when she diverts the army from protecting Egypt's borders to erect royal temples, she threatens to bring about the downfall of the nation itself.
This compulsively readable window into the past will thrill fans of Philippa Gregory and Sarah Dunant.
