Ankhesenamun has lost everything, including her position as queen. But there is one thing that might save her yet: the Eye of Horus, a fabled artefact said to confer ultimate power on the one who wields it. If she can find it, it might help her take back the throne and avoid war with the Hittites.
But the gods don’t intend the Eye to be easily found and they've barely begun testing Ankhesenamun to see if she's strong enough to wield it.
Blending history and fantasy, The Amarna Age series is set in 18th Dynasty Egypt where the old gods have been worshipped for thousands of years and magic is a matter of belief. For readers of historical fantasy who enjoy an ancient world setting.
Kylie Quillinan is an Australian author whose historical fantasy novels reimagine the lives of the remarkable women of Ancient Egypt.
Fascinated by the women history often overlooks, she writes stories about queens, princesses and priestesses who challenge the expectations of their time. Her historical fantasy novels combine extensive historical research bringing Egyptian mythology, palace intrigue, political rivalries, and just a touch of magic, vividly to life.
Whether exploring the rise of Hatshepsut, the twilight of the Amarna dynasty, or the lives of fictional women inspired by history, Kylie is drawn to women who reshape history rather than accept the roles society assigns them.
When she isn't writing, she's usually reading about Ancient Egypt, wondering why jellyfish are so fascinating, or trying to get fit before the zombies arrive.
