"Pharoah's love is unpredictable; Pharaoh's love can change in the blink of an eye, The flash of a fox's tail. One moment you are his greatest treasure, The next you become a mere speck of dust - Pharaoh's love comes and goes like each beat of a butterfly's wing... With Pharaoh's love you are the only woman in Egypt - Yet once he deems you undesirable... His love can break your heart into a thousand bloody shards. Perhaps his love is naught but a myth; Perhaps his love holds aught of value. But the one thing you must always remember and NEVER forget is that Pharaoh's love is faithless, Indeed - fickle beyond anything else you've ever known." Pharaoh's royal harem is the place where your closest friends become your greatest enemies, the place where even your most loyal slaves can betray you. Beware of the women who pour poison in your goblet, whisper lies into your ear. They will do whatever it takes to break your spirit, and you shall cower with fear in the face of their power. But you must never succumb, because the rivalry amongst Pharaoh's women will intensify to bounds that have never been reached, the jealousy they feel for each other will give rise to their destruction, as they do things of the unthinkable to win the fight for Pharaoh's heart, sacrifice their souls to survive in the horrible competition for the place of Chief Wife. And in the mist of it all lies Neferu, Pharaoh's Beloved, destined to do the impossible...

This is the original, unedited version of Light as a Feather, Book #1. This book was the inspiration for the Hulu Original Series. The revised version is now available in bookstores throughout the USA & Canada from Simon Pulse. McKenna Brady thinks her junior year of high school is going to be the best ever when she's welcomed into the elite group of popular girls at Weeping Willow High School led by blonde, gorgeous Olivia Richmond. Prior to junior year, McKenna was known in her small town as the girl whose twin sister died in a tragic house fire, and she's overjoyed at the prospect of redefining her identity. She has a date to the Homecoming dance with Olivia's handsome older brother, and a good chance of being elected to student council. For the first time since McKenna's parents divorced, things are looking up. But everything changes the night of Olivia's Sweet Sixteen sleepover birthday party. Violet, the shy, mysterious new girl in town, suggests that the girls play a scary game called Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board, during which Violet makes up elaborate stories about the future ways in which beautiful Olivia, brassy Candace, and athletic Mischa will die. The game unsettles McKenna because she's already escaped death once in her life, but she doesn't want to ruin her friends' fun. It's only a game, she reminds herself.
