The Heretic Queen by Michelle Moran

The Heretic Queen by Michelle Moran

In this stunning novel of passion, power, and redemption, a forgotten princess in ancient Egypt must overcome her family's past and remake history--from the internationally bestselling author of Nefertiti and Maria.

"Moran's careful attention to detail and her artful storytelling bring these people to vivid life, imbuing ancient history with suspense and urgency."--The Boston Globe

The winds of change are blowing through Thebes. A devastating palace fire has killed the Eighteenth Dynasty's royal family--with the exception of Nefertari, the 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. But this changes when she is taken under the wing of the Pharoah's aunt, then 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 Ramses the Great. Destined to be the most powerful Pharoah in Egypt, he is also the man who must confront the most famous exodus in history.
