The Heretic Queen by Michelle Moran, 383 pages

This book had been sitting on my want to read list for months and months, and I finally picked it up. It features Nefertari, niece of Nefertiti, the forgotten queen who tried to destroy Egypt's god worship. Nefertari faces an uncertain future, with her family destined to be forgotten, unless she is willing to reach out and grab a different future. She wants nothing more than to be the wife of Ramses, and he wants her to be his Chief Wife, but will the people of Egypt be willing to accept a queen whose family is known for their heresy.
