My story is one of shadows-one that is often lost in the dazzling tale of the Sun King's blazing reign. My face is well known, yes. It is carved in many stones beside the Sun's chosen king. Where his bold image is painted, there my subtle likeness appears. Yet, it is the king's madness that outshines any character within our stories, and my name is only muttered when his is cursed. His rule brought ruin, and when the people sought to raze his brilliant stamp from the world, I became little more than the pretty woman who stood by his side while our kingdom was set afire with his dangerous ideas.
In the days when gods and men walked together, Nefertiti must navigate the treacherous realm of politics as a new pharaoh rises to claim the throne-- a new pharaoh with an unfamiliar god at his side. Nefertiti holds the fate of her family, her country, and her soul in her hands. The decisions she makes will alter the course of history forever.
