Seventeen year-old Aurera Dsjot-khons is your typical Egyptian peasant, staying out of trouble, and sight, while she works in her family's fields.
Twenty-eight year-old Menenba Neb-er-tcher is the newest pharaoh of Egypt, the great ruler of a powerful empire.
As the tradition, Menenba calls all Egyptian women between the ages of Sixteen and Twenty to his palace in Nasuthis, to compete for his hand, and a chance to better their own lives.
Aurera doesn't want to be noticed, doesn't want him, doesn't want any of it. All she wants is to return to her home.
Menenba couldn't care less about this contest. His massive kingdom in on the brink of war, and any misstep could tip it into a bloody civil war.
Through their indifference, they find understanding. Through their understanding, they form friendship. Will their friendship become love? And at what cost?

Pharaoh Setka-Re rules over Egypt with wisdom and strength, yet his greatest challenge is not war or treachery-it is love. Pressured by his advisors and the people to take a wife and secure his dynasty, Setka-Re embarks on a journey to find not just a queen, but a partner who truly understands him.

[COMPLETED] The Scholars and The 7-Year Famine
Wealthy, powerful, and always the fun one. On the surface, the billionaire Muna Amalda has it all. She owns the room with her loud laugh, wild nights, parties, and a charm that never misses. But underneath the glamour, she feels nothing. Every day is a quiet war against a growing emptiness. "They say desire is the root of all suffering, so why does it hurt more to have no desire to live at all?" That is, until one evening at a bar, she meets a mysterious man named Osiris, who offers her a strange pendant, and an even stranger deal: a second chance at life. But there's one condition. She must save Ancient Egypt from the infamous seven years of famine. Thrown into a new world she doesn't understand, Muna is forced to survive without everything she once used to define herself. Will she embrace this new life, discover who she really is, and find the strength to change not only Egypt's fate, but her own? Note: heavy science-history narrative, world-building focused, mild NSFW content, romance present but minimal/not central.Complete
Cursed Times - Only Yesterday! Sequel to Wattys 2015 winner!
By accident rather than design, Trueth - one of the last European witches - finds herself in an ancient Egyptian civilisation. It isn't quite what she has expected - for one thing this place is as full of magic as it is lacking in decent showers. Instead, there is evil lurking just below the surface of the Nile. Together with the friends and family she found in 'Cursed Times - What Now?', Trueth will need to embark on yet another world-saving adventure. One that hopefully does not end in a romantic shipping-wreck. From pyramids, tombs and temples - as well as a palace governed by a randy fourteen-year-old Pharaoh - her journey will ultimately take her to the mists of the North and towards her people. With or without a man at her side. 'Only Yesterday' can be read as standalone adventure novel, or as part of the 'Cursed Times' Series. Warning: In 'Cursed Times - What Now?' all you needed was popcorn. Now you need something stronger - much stronger! === Copyright information, given the recent acts of content piracy: All copyrights of the texts are mine exclusively.

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.
