Queen Nefertiti struggles against the cult of Amun for power and the future of Egypt in this long-past era of gods and Kings.
1335 B.C. Egypt is failing. Allies are leaving. War is inevitable.
The power struggle for the throne should have ended long ago, yet it rages onward, shrouded in conspiracy and murder. Pharaoh Akhenaten's plan to regain power from the priesthood of Amun is done, but his religious zeal has stripped the economy and the people’s morale.
Whisperings of rebellion fill the streets as enemies close in on Egypt’s borders, leaving Nefertiti to fend off political wolves as she attempts to stabilize the nation and keep her crown.

"Fans of political and bloodthirsty dramas like Game of Thrones are sure to dive right into the conspiracy and murder amongst the pages of Secrets in the Sand in just the same, compelling way...a page-turning frenzy...Secrets in the Sand is a superb continuation of a fantastic and immersive historical series."
I like historical fiction, and from the little bit that you provided and from my reading about some of the pharaohs and some of the dynasties and their struggles with infighting and intrigue, I believe you have a lot from history to work from. I am disappointed when someone compares your book to Game of Thrones, an obvious fantasy with dragons and other elements that never occurred in history.
From your success with your earlier novel, I believe, since Nefertiti, is probably the most famous Pharaoh for her supposed beauty, that this novel also a success.
