Marie Benedict returns with "Daughter of Egypt," a tale of a young woman who unearths the truth about a forgotten pharaoh—rewriting both of their legacies forever.In the 1920s, archeologist Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon of Highclere Castle made headlines around the world with the discovery of the treasure-filled tomb of Tutankhamun. Lady Evelyn Herbert helped make the momentous find possible but is not credited. Nearly 3,000 years earlier, another forgotten woman, Hatshepsut, defied the expectations of her time with a bold, visionary reign—and was nearly erased from history.
When Evelyn becomes obsessed with finding Hatshepsut’s tomb, she risks everything to uncover the truth and keep valued artifacts in Egypt, but as danger closes in and political tensions rise, she must make an impossible choice: protect her father’s legacy—or forge her own.
Marie Benedict’s bestselling novels include "The Queens of Crime," "The Mitford Affair," "Lady Clementine," and "Carnegie's Maid," and with Victoria Christopher Murray, "The Personal Librarian" and "The First Ladies."
The pre-event tour is at capacity.
