✦ Synopsis

The first volume in the reader-acclaimed,
Amazon bestselling She-King series, a saga of ancient Egypt's most
fascinating royal family.

Is Ahmose's divine gift a blessing or a curse?

The second daughter of the Pharaoh, Ahmose has always dreamed of a
quiet life as a priestess, serving Egypt's gods, ministering to the
people of the Two Lands. But when the Pharaoh dies without an heir, she
is given instead as Great Royal Wife to the new king a soldier of
common birth. For Ahmose is god-chosen, gifted with the ability to read
dreams, and it is her connection to the gods which ensures the new
Pharaoh his right to rule.

Ahmose's elder sister Mutnofret has been raised to expect the
privileged station of Great Royal Wife; her rage at being displaced
cannot be soothed. As Ahmose fights the currents of Egypt's politics
and Mutnofret's vengeful anger, her youth and inexperience carry her
beyond her depth and into the realm of sacrilege.

To right her wrongs and save Egypt from the gods' wrath, Ahmose must
face her most visceral fear: bearing an heir. But the gods of Egypt
are exacting, and even her sacrifice may not be enough to restore the
Two Lands to safety.

The Sekhmet Bed is the first volume of Libbie Hawker's series The
She-King, a family saga of the Thutmosides, one of ancient Egypt's most
fascinating royal families. Don't miss Book 2: The Crook and Flail
