Sent to the enigmatic kingdom of Egypt to seal the alliance between two countries, a Babylonian princess expects to become queen. Yet she arrives to a reality far from her expectations—Pharaoh already has hundreds of wives and she’s just the latest. With her chance of ruling beside Pharaoh seemingly all but impossible, Kassaya has two choices: she can accept her status at the bottom of the palace hierarchy or she can fight for the destiny she came to Egypt to claim. But the Palace of the Ornaments conceals more than just rivalries between Pharaoh’s many wives. In a place where power, ambition and deadly secrets control her life, Kassaya must forge alliances that could hold the key to her survival—or her downfall. Princess of Babylon is set against the grandeur of Egypt’s 20th Dynasty and the final days of the reign of Ramses III. For readers of historical fantasy who relish stories of courageous women defying conventions and shaping their own destinies.

- I studied Ancient Greek at university because I wanted to read Homer in his own language.
- I’m fascinated by miniatures and tiny things, and am building my own dollhouse.
- I studied to be a journalist because I thought that would provide a more reliable income than writing. I hated it because I wasn’t telling my own stories, only repeating what somebody else had already said.
- If I wasn’t a writer, I would have been a marine biologist except that I get very, very sea sick. I’m also claustrophobic under water so that was never going to work out.
- I never ever look into a mirror in a dark room.
