Daughter of the Gods : A Novel of Ancient Egypt

by Stephanie Marie Thornton
Daughter of the Gods : A Novel of Ancient Egypt - Thryft
Daughter of the Gods : A Novel of Ancient Egypt - Thryft

Egypt's second princess defies tradition and history.

"Daughter of the Gods" could be a good read for someone who enjoys historical fiction and strong female characters. Hatshepsut's journey from a pampered princess to a powerful ruler is both inspiring and heart-wrenching. The book brilliantly captures Hatshepsut's struggles as a woman in a male-dominated society, and her determination to break free of gender norms and leave her mark in history. Thornton's vivid descriptions of ancient Egypt and its customs make this book a must-read for anyone interested in the country's rich history.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Egypt, 1400s BC. The pharaoh’s pampered second daughter, lively, intelligent Hatshepsut, delights in racing her chariot through the marketplace and testing her archery skills in the Nile’s marshlands. But the death of her elder sister, Neferubity, in a gruesome accident arising from Hatshepsut’s games forces her to confront her guilt...and sets her on a profoundly changed course. Hatshepsut enters a loveless marriage with her half brother, Thut, to secure his claim to the Horus Throne and produce a male heir. But it is another of Thut’s wives, the commoner Aset, who bears him a son, while Hatshepsut develops a searing attraction for his brilliant adviser Senenmut. And when Thut suddenly dies, Hatshepsut becomes de facto ruler, as regent to her two-year-old nephew. Once, Hatshepsut anticipated being free to live and love as she chose. Now she must put Egypt first. Ever daring, she will lead a vast army and build great temples, but always she will be torn between the demands of leadership and the desires of her heart. And even as she makes her boldest move of all, her enemies will plot her downfall....Once again, Stephanie Thornton brings to life a remarkable woman from the distant past whose willingness to defy tradition changed the course of history.
