Blood of Amun
History remembers Hatshepsut as one of Egypt's greatest rulers. This is the story of how she became that woman.
Born into the royal house of Thutmose I, Hatshepsut spends her childhood surrounded by the splendour of Egypt's court. Guided by devoted mentors, bound by ancient traditions, and nurtured by a family whose lives are entwined with the gods, she grows up in a world of privilege, duty, and quiet expectation.
But childhood cannot last forever. With each passing year, the traditions of the royal court, the demands of her station, and the people who guide her gradually shape the future ruler hidden within the young princess.
Rich in history, faith, and palace intrigue, Blood of Amun is an intimate coming-of-age story that traces the extraordinary journey from Egyptian princess to one of history’s most remarkable rulers.
