Two women. Nearly 3,000 years apart. Both determined not to be erased from history.
In 1920s Egypt, Lady Evelyn Herbert, daughter of Lord Carnarvon, finds herself at the center of one of archaeology’s greatest discoveries: the tomb of Tutankhamun. But Evelyn is captivated by another ruler whose story has nearly disappeared: Hatshepsut, one of ancient Egypt’s rare female pharaohs.
The novel moves between Evelyn’s quest to uncover Hatshepsut’s lost legacy and Hatshepsut’s own rise to power centuries earlier. Both women must navigate worlds dominated by men while fighting to determine how their own stories will be remembered. Evelyn’s journey also forces her to confront difficult questions about who truly owns the treasures being removed from Egypt.
Rich with archaeology, political tension, danger, and remarkable women, Daughter of Egypt is about ambition, historical erasure, legacy, and refusing to let someone else write your story.
