When the queen’s younger sisters need to be sent away from Akhetaten, Tey volunteers to go with them. She will leave both her home and her life to shepherd the two girls to safety and protect them for the rest of their lives.
But Tey gets more than she bargained for. One of the sisters is too young to understand why she must be sent away. She doesn’t want to go and she has a powerful magic that will endanger them all.
Join Tey and the princesses as they journey across the ancient world in search of a safe place to call home.
For readers of historical fantasy and fantasy adventure who enjoy strong women finding their place in the dangerous world of 18th Dynasty Egypt.
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.
