The powerful and haunting story of Tutankhamun, King of Egypt in the Eighteenth Dynasty, and his wife Ankhesenamun.

Ankhesenamun has never been safe in all her short life.

Daughter of the Pharaoh Akhenaten and the fabled Nefertiti, and married at one time to her father, she has seen too much intrigue, too many deaths...

She is forced to marry Tutankhamun by the powerful General Horemheb at a time of bitter political and religious division - Ankhesenamun is the delicate link between scheming factions.

But she is left vulnerable by the failure of her plans for the sacred egg of Ra and the death of her young husband, and Ankhesenamun is forced into making one last extraordinary and desperate bid for life and happiness...

There cannot be many people alive today who have not heard of Tutankhamun. But not so many know the story of his wife, the young Ankhesenamun, facing dangerous and troubled times. Letters from her have been discovered and preserved, telling a story both moving and tragic, but also of daring, intelligence and courage. This is basically her story - the Daughter of Ra.

Tutankhamun and the Daughter of Ra is part of the 'Egyptian' sequence, which also includes Akhenaten: Son of the Sun and Hatshepsut: Daughter of Amun. Chronologically, Tutankhamun and the Daughter of Ra is the third book of the sequence.
