About Salvation In The Sun: Book One
Product Description This future she knows for certain—the great sun city will be her undoing. Amidst a power struggle between Pharaoh and the priesthood of Amun, Queen Nefertiti helps the ill-prepared new Pharaoh, Amenhotep, enact his father's plan to regain power for the throne. But what seemed a difficult task only becomes more grueling when Amenhotep loses himself in his radical obsessions. Standing alone to bear the burden of a failing country and stem the tide of a growing rebellion, Nefertiti must choose between her love for Pharaoh and her duty to Egypt in this dramatic retelling of a story forgotten by time. Salvation in the Sun is the first volume of Lauren Lee Merewether's debut series, The Lost Pharaoh Chronicles, a resurrection of an erased time that follows the five Kings of Egypt who were lost to history for over three millennia. The story continues in book two, Secrets in the Sand. Review "If you're a fan of all things ancient Egyptian, from Nefertiti's bust to King Tut's tomb, this book is for you...proved engaging and suspenseful until the very end." - Kimberlee J Benart for Readers' Favorite (★★★★★) "Lauren Lee Merewether draws us in with astounding characterization, a mesmerizing storyline, and beautifully crafted detailing that transcends beyond the printed word...a masterpiece recreation of the life and world surrounding Nefertiti..." - RedHeadedBookLover Blog (★★★★★) What Goodreads readers are saying: "A beautifully written story, and a compelling ride back in time to the world of Nefertiti. If you're into ancient Egyptian history, or if you know nothing about it, this is a great read..." "Having read several books dealing with this time, this book is by far the best." "...for fiction, it felt very real." "My undergrad degree is in ancient history and my favorite is the history of Egypt...This is an excellent and most probable account of the royal family that I've read yet." "Riveting historical fiction brings Akhenaten and Nefertiti to life." "Absolutely amazing rendition of the Amarna dynasty." From the Author Thank you for giving me this opportunity to entertain you, if only for a few hours. I hope you enjoy this story forgotten by time and diving into the history behind it. I had a lot of fun researching the time period, and I hope you'll come back for more. Many facts about this period remain unknown. The series and its prequel and complement collections blend multiple theories ranging from majorly accepted to rejected. Many events and characters are completely fictitious. I wanted to write an engaging ancient family saga and placed story above all. I am not an archaeologist or Egyptologist and have no stake in any theory or agenda used in the story. The Lost Pharaoh Chronicles was not meant to be an authoritative source or documentary-style story. Readers who enjoy elements of the drama, family saga, women's fiction, romance, coming-of-age, and historical genres will probably enjoy this cross-genre series more than readers who love to delve into the denser historical fiction books and who will not enjoy a book because the author took creative liberty that was not in line with their period knowledge. If you choose to read, I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for the opportunity to explain and to perhaps find a place in your library if you like my style of storytelling. Sending many good wishes to you and yours! Although I strive to paint an accurate picture of historical events, details and people, I obey the demands of story and drama first. To help you as the reader delineate between historical fact and fiction, I include "A Look into the Past" section in the back of each book with a summary of my research as it relates to the story. All of my stories combine the historical, family saga, and drama/interpersonal drama fiction sub-genres and contain elements of women's fiction, coming-of-age and/or romance.
