Historical
The winds of change are blowing through Thebes. A
devastating palace fire has killed the 18th dynasty’s royal
family—all with the exception of Nefertari, niece of the
reviled former queen Nefertiti. The girl’s deceased family
has been branded as heretical, and no one in Egypt will
speak their names. A relic of a previous reign, Nefertari
is pushed aside, an unimportant princess left to run wild
in the palace. But all of this changes when she is taken
under the wing of pharaoh’s aunt, and brought to the Temple
of Hathor where she is educated in a manner befitting a
future queen. Soon Nefertari catches the eye of the crown prince, and
despite her family’s history, they fall in love and wish to
marry. Yet all of Egypt opposes this union between the
rising star of a new dynasty and the fading star of an old,
heretical one. While political adversity sets the country
on edge, Nefertari becomes the wife of Ramesses the Great.
Destined to be the most powerful pharaoh in Egypt, he is
also the man who must confront the most famous exodus in
history.
