Neferura : A Novel

Historical fiction perfect for fans of Circe and Elektra! Neferura, princess and high priestess, has always dreamed of freedom. But freedom comes at a price...

When your mother is brilliant, narcissistic, and the most powerful pharaoh Egypt has known in generations, expectations are high. While Neferura, princess and high priestess, dreams of forbidden romance and freedom, her position at court comes with a price: she’s to serve her vile half-brother and support Egypt's next pharaoh—even when Thutmose is determined to stop his sister's potential rise.

The abuse she suffers at the hands of her half-brother cannot be allowed, and the secret life she has always dreamed of begins to feel like the only option. When she forms an unlikely alliance with a mysterious tattooed wisewoman and her shadowy scorpion scouts, Neferura discovers a provocative alternative to Thutmose's reign. But the lure the wisewoman dangles comes with risks, and Neferura must decide where her loyalties truly lie, and how much she’s willing to sacrifice.
