But this changes when she is taken under the wing of the Pharaoh s aunt, then brought to the Temple of Hathor, where she is educated in a manner befitting a future queen. A relic of a previous reign, Nefertari is pushed aside, an unimportant princess left to run wild in the palace. The girls deceased family has been branded as heretical, and no one in Egypt will speak their names. A devastating palace fire has killed the Eighteenth Dynastys royal family-all with the exception of Nefertari, the niece of the reviled former queen, Nefertiti. The winds of change are blowing through Thebes. Book Synopsis In ancient Egypt, a forgotten princess must overcome her familys past and remake history.
