This book starts out with Kiya, Queen of Egypt, fleeing with the king’s Hebrew guard, Malachi so that Nefertiti doesn’t destroy Kiya and her son, Tut, the true heir to the throne. Kiya throws off her Egyptian name and costume and becomes Naomi again, a simple Hebrew girl. But with two of her own children from the Pharoah and another of his concubine’s children, she is an outcast among her own people and treated as a harlot for being thrown out by her husband—even though the pharaoh sent her away to save her from Nefertiti’s treacherous designs.There is lots of tension, heartache, and love in this second book, and I thought the author did a great job of continuing an intense, complicated plot. Naomi (Kiya) struggles with guilt for claiming Malachi’s heart, yet stays true to her husband the Pharoah while he still lives. Great continuation of an awesome historical tale. I can’t wait to read the 3rd book when it comes out soon.
