More Description"I am King Tut's wife, but my name is barely a whisper in history's memory. I was the last of my family to survive the Aten revolution. I had a child at age 12 and was forced to marry three times. But that didn't mean my story ended badly. My name is Ankhesenamun, my loved ones called me An, and I will stop at nothing to save my family."Despite the vast treasure found in Pharaoh Tutankhamun's tomb, there is little left over regarding his bride. Ankhesenamun grew up a princess and became a queen at age 13. Her husband, Tutankhamun, was 9. With outside forces try to influence every choice they make, Ankhesenamun finds herself torn between her duties and her desires. In addition, her husband must deal with a crippling deformity that leaves him vulnerable. Meanwhile, Ankhesenamun wrestles a matter of the heart, her own heart. There is a young girl whom was never supposed to have survived the fall of Akhenaten City, a daughter she bore that carries the blood of the heretic in her veins. There are some who will stop at nothing to find this daughter and end the line of Akhenaten once and for all.With a twist of biblical history interlaced, Ankhesenamun's voice has a new song to sing which has otherwise been forgotten. Her story weaves through the sands of time as in each chapter she narrates her past and the path her life has been directed to take. Between chapters, Ankhesenamun is dealing with the repercussions of her husband's death as power-hungry men are grappling for pharaoh's crown. Can a lone woman stand against the tides of time which have already consuming her parents, her sisters, and her husband? Will her efforts be enough to survive the most terrible of all fates -- the threat of her own death and having her name and her family's erased from the walls of history? Because once the new king is crowned, she is dispensable.
