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.

Reign of the Pharaoh
For five thousand years, Ahmanet's name has been erased from history-a Pharaoh who defied gods, bloodlines, and tradition to claim Egypt's throne. Born as the illegitimate daughter of a concubine, she manipulated priests and soldiers, exiled her twenty sisters and twenty-three brothers, and crowned herself ruler of the ancient world. She was invincible, her power unmatched. Until the curse. Cast from her golden empire and frozen in time, Ahmanet awakens in the modern era-stripped of her kingdom. But not her love for throne. The world has changed, but power still belongs to those willing to seize it. Amidst towering skyscrapers and shifting allegiances, she sets her sights on reclaiming her throne-not just over a nation, but the entire world. But the modern world holds dangers she did not anticipate, including a rival - a man as clever as he is infuriating. His presence is a distraction she cannot afford, yet his eyes hold a challenge she cannot ignore. The world was hers to rule, no matter the time.
