Sunrise of Splendor

This book completed the story of Nefrytatanen and Amenemhet. The trip back to ancient Egypt seems realistic and believable. As in any romance there are obstacles to be conquered but love overcomes them all. The interactions with other countries and their rulers could be from today. People never seem to change much through time. I enjoyed both this and Dawn of Desire.

Set in semi-historical ancient Egypt the female lead struggles to gain power and position in the royal court while juggling marriage (to her brother) and a secret extra-marital affair. Very entertaining.

This is a wonderful book that I pull out at least once a year to re-read! If you're interested in Ancient Egypt, and fiction set in Ancient Egypt, you will love it also.Beautiful Sharula (later re-named Nefertiry) is given to King Ramessa to be another one of his wives. Refusing to be content as just another woman in the harem, Nefertiry eventually has herself elevated to queen. Her absolute loyalty to Ramessa earns her many enemies at court, among the priests of Amon-Ra and within her new "family". Not your typical romance read. The plot line involves much more that what I've mentioned above, and the way the author writes will make you feel like you are right there, in a corner, watching it all happen.
