Fiction
Egypt, 1400s BC. The pharaoh’s pampered second daughter,
lively, intelligent Hatshepsut, delights in racing her
chariot through the marketplace and testing her archery
skills in the Nile’s marshlands. But the death of her
elder
sister, Neferubity, in a gruesome accident arising from
Hatshepsut’s games forces her to confront her guilt...and
sets her on a profoundly changed course. Hatshepsut enters a loveless marriage with her half
brother,
Thut, to secure his claim to the Isis Throne and produce a
male heir. But it is another of Thut’s wives, the commoner
Aset, who bears him a son, while Hatshepsut develops a
searing attraction for his brilliant adviser Senenmut. And
when Thut suddenly dies, Hatshepsut becomes de facto
ruler,
as regent to her two-year-old nephew. Once, Hatshepsut anticipated being free to live and love
as
she chose. Now she must put Egypt first. Ever daring, she
will lead a vast army and build great temples, but always
she will be torn between the demands of leadership and the
desires of her heart. And even as she makes her boldest
move
of all, her enemies will plot her downfall.... Once again, Stephanie Thornton brings to life a remarkable
woman from the distant past whose willingness to defy
tradition changed the course of history.
