As a princess and daughter of the great Pharaoh Akhenaten, Ankhesenpaaten knows she is intended for an important marriage. But when the Asiatic Plague takes her mother and one of her sisters, and childbirth steals two other sisters, she finds herself in a position she never expected: Queen of Egypt.
Pharaoh's advisors fear Ankhesenpaaten's remaining sisters might be used by a competing political faction wanting to steal the throne. With Intef, her new captain, at her side, Ankhesenpaaten needs to deal with the "problem" of her younger sisters.
Because as long as more than one daughter of Akhenaten is alive, Ankhesenpaaten is disposable.
Daughter of the Sun is a prequel novella to both The Amarna Age series and The Amarna Princesses series. For readers of historical fantasy who enjoy an ancient world setting.
Autorentext
Kylie lives in Brisbane, Australia, with her pack of one husband, two dogs, and a cat. She spent most of her childhood wandering in fictional worlds but it was many years before she made the connection between her own made-up worlds and the written word. She will read almost anything but prefers a fantastical element, including magic, time travel and monsters.
She writes historical fantasy and is the author of the Tales of Silver Downs series (loosely set in Celtic Britain) and The Amarna Age series (set in ancient Egypt). Her other interests include canine nutrition, playing the piano, zombies and cocktails. She blames the disheveled state of her house on her dogs but she really just hates to clean.
SWAN - the epilogue to the Tales of Silver Downs series - is available exclusively to her mailing list subscribers. Sign up at kyliequillinan.com.
