    About this ebook

    "An impressively ingenious reframing of the chaotic domino effect caused by King Tut's death & the tantalizing possibility of his line's survival."

    --------------------

    Hell hath no fury like a spider caught in its own web.

    ----

    The gods, even in their rage, had never been more clear.

    Either King Mursili II succeed in placing the Amarna bloodline back upon the Egyptian throne or everything he has sacrificed, everything he has lost will be for naught. Everything he has put those closest to him through – Nacamakun, Idamun, his family – would be for naught. All of his prayers and faith would be for naught.

    Yes. Even in their vengeance, the gods had never been more clear.

    It’s all or nothing. Either the prophecy is fulfilled and both Egypt & Hatti find salvation or Mursili and his allies fail - plunging both kingdoms into indescribable darkness.

    Behold. Even in the terrible deafening silence of their abandonment, the gods had never been more clear.

    The time has come for judgment.

    ----------------------------------------------

    Amarna is a ridiculously, historically accurate drama set in Ancient Egypt, Hattusa & Syria that is centered around the strange but true events surrounding the battle for the throne of Egypt following Pharaoh Tutankhamun's death and the interconnected events that took place in the Hittite empire.

    It includes an end matter feature that details what did and didn't really happen (at least as far as historians believed at the time it was written).

    Grea Alexander

    Grea (pronounced Gray) Alexander is a female writer of African American, Native American and French descent who does not write her profiles in the 3rd person. Born and raised in Houston, TX, I have successfully wormed my way across many a border and have, in effect, managed to infect all that I survey with my particular brand of grea-ness. My books are very character-driven with a focus on flawed, dynamic, culturally-diverse characters and strong, smart female protagonists. Also, please note: I do not write children's books. My books are for adults. My books contain adult themes, adult situations, sexual situations, cursing, intoxication and violence. Some books have more than others. Some characters engage more than others. If you find such offensive, you might not want to read my work. Then again, you just might feel naughty and want to read them anyway.

      What a tangled web this is. King Mursili's unshakable faith in the prophecy and his single minded focus on the big picture disregarding every loss, Nacamakun, almost mad over the grief of what he has lost in the quest to place the Amarna bloodline back on the Throne, Idamun's maternal instincts screaming at her to keep her son safe from the vengeance of his enemies and of course the various gods executing their own plans. The fate of Egypt and Hatti hang in the balance.

      This concluding installment in the Amarna series will take you on a journey of turmoil, betrayal, doubt and madness. And the end will make you either smile or then as in my case, thirsting for more.
