Nefertiti by Michelle Moran [Paperback: Average]

Paperback in Average condition (424 pages)

When the Crown Prince of Egypt needs a wife, the beautiful, charismatic, ambitious, and connected Nefertiti is his mother's first choice.  She quickly becomes accustomed to the opulence of her new life.  As Queen of the world's first great empire at the height of its power, all her dreams are realised.  Beguiling and wilful, Nefertiti is soon as powerful as the Pharaoh himself.  But when her husband breaks with a thousand years of tradition, defying the priests and the military, it will take all Nefertiti's wiles to keep the nation from being torn apart. 

Love, betrayal, political unrest, plague, and religious conflict, Nefertiti brings ancient Egypt to life in vivid detail.  Fast-paced and historically accurate, it is the dramatic story of two unforgettable women living through a remarkable period in history.
