Daughter of Egypt

Dynamic story!! Best of three in the Egyptian Series so far...I do hope this brings more stories to light. I can't seem to get enough of Constance's passion for historical writings on the subject of my favorite heroines and heros. Please Constance, keep them coming!! First Constance gave us "Lord of the Nile", where Denae' and her handsome hero Lord Ramtat took up arms and took in love across the times in Rome, then there was "Sword of Rome", the story of Danae's now sister-inlaw Adhania and her beloved hero, Macellus, the Roman general and warrior of his day. Leaving us with the street urchin called Thalia, whom Adhania rescued in the streets of Rome as a child. But who was Thalia really? This book creates the atmosphere that pulls in all of our favored characters from book one and two--in a fight for her life, Thalia will meet yet another hero, another general--another man just like the one's her adopted sister and sister-inlaw married in the two earlier books...a warrior, that will not give up until he sees Thalia in her rightful position on a small island called Bal, Forea....the new home of the fallen city of ??(Won't give spoilers)! Buy the book and find out!! Be prepared to fall in love with Thalia, eighteen and hardly ready to stand on her own two feet in a strange speaking land. She decides to take it upon herself to reunite the people, just as her Queen and family memeber Cleopatra would have done....And then watch her rise above her duty, in order to save the island people from hunger and war...Constance, finally comes through on her exotic sexual expression in this novel as well, which makes this novel shine past the previous books (which I loved too), to bring us devoted and lavishing love scenes worth reading-over and over! Come hide in the passions of love, honor, and betrayal in "Daughter of Egypt"! One sentence line: O'banyon's third book of the Egyptian herione series is possibly her best book yet, with wonderfully created characters, an intriguing tale of great historical value that carries the erotic love, honor, courage, and betrayal. A winner! Jack's wife. Thank you

I'm a high school history teacher, and I can tell that a lot of research went into this series. Readers will learn about Egyptian and Roman politics and history in the time of Queen Cleopatra, but the history never gets in the way of the love story. Though it can stand alone, DAUGHTER OF EGYPT is a continuation of the story begun in LORD OF THE NILE and SWORD OF ROME, where members of a noble Egyptian family find their destinies against the backdrop of palace, marketplace, desert and an island paradise. Thalia, the feisty heroine, was the precocious young urchin who was adopted into the Tasrat family in SWORD OF ROME. I agree with one of the previous reviewers, who praised the book, MARA, DAUGHTER OF THE NILE. It has been one of my favorites since junior high, and is still an enjoyable read for me as an adult. However, comparing DAUGHTER OF EGYPT and MARA is like comparing apples and oranges. MARA, a book about the 18th Dynasty, takes place over 1000 years before DAUGHTER OF EGYPT. I hope Constance O'Banyon continues to write on ancient Egypt and Rome.
