akhenaten ancient-egypt ancienthistory anubis darkness egypt egyptian goddess gods heresy historical king light magic mythology nefertiti pharaoh queen romance royalty sun

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.Todos os Direitos Reservados

The Solar Princess, de HanaSafaya

Kingship, the ultimate power in the ancient world. To the Egyptians, it was a power passed through the female line. Only the husband of the Solar Princess could be king. A recently discovered tomb in 1883 opens a glimpse into the depths of political ambisions and power plays from centuries before. When the gods dabble, the horrors of the past have a way of coming back to haunt the world once again. ********** This is a short story. I hope you like it. I would love to hear feedback on this. I set this as mature just to be sure. I don't give overly explicit details of violence or sex, however, the story does delve into topics of a more mature nature. It is also a work of fiction that I wrote. Please do not copy any part of this story. I do not own the rights to the photos posted. Those are just images I found online and the rights go to the original owners. Thank you. As for the names of the characters, I pulled all of the names during the historical periods from actual history. So, I am sorry if the names are odd or difficult to follow, it is set during a specific reign and the historical people around the royal palace. I really enjoy writing from actual history as much as possible when I do delve into history. If people like this, I may try to work on a longer story of a historical romance in the Ottoman courts.

Athena is everything that he thought she wouldn't be but also everything that he thought she would be. And he.. He has never been so intrigued. DISCLAIMER: Every character used in this story is completely made up. I have merely burrowed the Gods' names. What it is recounted here has nothing to do with what they have done or what they are in mythology books. Also, the book contains a lot of violence, adult language and uncensored sex scenes, so read at your own risk. That being said, please enjoy!
