false 2897258 9 In ancient Egypt, a forgotten princess must overcome her family’s past, and remake history. 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. 2923667 16 9 2008 The Heretic Queen: A Novel total:477|5:184|4:177|3:95|2:17|1:4| 477 1951 1455 156 5 6 false false Thu Nov 13 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Oct 30 14:18:05 -0700 2008 Fri Nov 14 01:43:43 -0800 2008
