Part of Series

Egypt is divided and conspiracy runs deep—the boy King Tut inherits a nation of chaos, and his wife, Queen Ankhesenamun, is desperate to earn his trust. Pharaoh Tutankhamun must decide Egypt's path amid political turmoil and corruption while Queen Ankhesenamun struggles to convince Pharaoh that their lives are at stake. With truth shrouded in mystery, doubt attacks the royalty as a power mercilessly pursues the crown. Egypt's fate is determined by Pharaoh's and Queen Ankhesenamun's success or failure in the coming storm. Scarab in the Storm is the third 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 the final book: Silence in the Stone.

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.
