1575 BC. Surrounded by her enemies, the future of the rebellion is in the hands of Queen Ahhotep as her husband’s body is laid at her feet.
To unite the divided kingdom, Ahhotep must be the commanding leader to those still loyal to her family, a guiding voice her children require, and meet the impossible expectations of her mother, the Great Wife Tetisheri. Feeling alone and finding no consolation in the palace, Ahhotep seeks counsel with a man she loves but cannot have, inviting conflict into her family and her heart.
With obsolete weaponry, inferior resources, and the royal family’s divided front, their supporters dissent and leave. To keep their borders secure, Ahhotep must find a way to consolidate power, raise a capable army, and mold her son into a Warrior King before death comes for her and her people.
Warrior King is a beautiful ode to the powerful women behind the crown and how their love, determination, leadership, and sacrifice propelled the once-called Kemet into a golden era of ancient Egyptian history.
Grab this gripping historical drama today.
Warrior King is the standalone series starter for Egypt's Golden Age Chronicles, a resurrection of the early 18th Dynasty kings and queens. This series feeds into Lauren Lee Merewether's Amarna period saga, The Lost Pharaoh Chronicles.
Reviewers are saying:
(★★★★★) "...total immersion into the complex world of ancient Egypt...Merewether's brand of political drama, blended seamlessly with interpersonal, emotional storylines, allows us to get into the psyche of her characters and explore the unusual pressures and challenges they face...an empowering work about the women behind the great kings and princes of Egypt." - K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite
(★★★★★) "Merewether does a beautiful job of taking an extraordinarily rigid and spotty slice of history and making it both accessible and intimate...a wonderful novel and a solid entry into a new series." - Jamie Michele for Readers' Favorite
(★★★★★) "Very highly recommended." - Asher Syed for Readers' Favorite
Whenever Lauren Lee Merewether visits a place seemingly untouched by time, an emotionally intense family saga is born soon after.
Lauren 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.
