In a place where loyalty can become a double-edged sword, Kassaya learns that the art of forming alliances is the true currency of survival. As she uncovers the secrets the Palace guards behind its magnificent facade, she thrusts both herself and her allies into even more danger.
With a growing attraction to a man who is strictly forbidden to her, Kassaya finds herself at a crossroads of power and passion. There’s only one way out and it will take a plan almost too big to comprehend.
Set against the grandeur of Egypt’s 20th Dynasty, The Palace of the Ornaments weaves a spellbinding tale of power, passion and peril. For readers of historical fantasy who relish stories of courageous women defying conventions and shaping their own destinies.
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.
