Part of Series
Nefe, the innocent daughter of Nefertiti, flees her perfect palatial home to save her life from a madman obsessed with usurping the throne. Her mother, Pharaoh of Egypt, is betrayed and murdered; her last living sister abandons her for a fool's errand, sure to end in death. Nefe is left alone under the protection of General Paaten, her mother’s steward, and a mysterious man named Atinuk. After narrowly escaping the corruption in Egypt, they head toward an unknown future in a foreign land. Will Nefe learn to trust her seemingly faithful companions, despite the secrets they carry? Can she pick up the shattered pieces of a life she once believed was perfect and embrace her future as a refugee in the vast lands of Canaan? Find out in this gripping coming-of-age drama set in the New Kingdom of Egypt. King's Daughter will contain spoilers for book one and book two of the series, Salvation in the Sun and Secrets in the Sand, respectively; and the prequels, The Mitanni Princess and Paaten's War. King's Daughter is the second complement 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.
Author
Whenever Lauren Lee Merewether visits a place seemingly untouched by time, an emotionally intense family saga is born soon after. Lauren writes family sagas set in ancient places, merging the drama, coming of age, women's fiction, and sweet romance genres. She loves to daydream about times long past while sipping green tea and watching the experts on the Discovery channel unearth our ancestors' civilizations. She likes to dive into history and find overlooked, under-appreciated and relatively unknown tidbits of our past to craft engaging stories with characters who love and lose, fight wrong with right, and hope in times of despair. If you like page-turning dramatic plots, simple style and dialogue, stories that evoke strong emotions, well-researched historical settings, and characters with genuine, relatable feelings, a majority of Lauren's reader reviews say you will like her books. Her upmarket fiction stories contain non-gory violence, no profanity, and no explicit sex/nudity in their pages. While she has gone to great lengths to ensure sensitive subject matters are dealt with in a compassionate and respectful manner, some subject matter in her books may be troubling for some readers.
