Secrets in the Sand

1335 B.C. Egypt is failing. Allies are leaving. War is inevitable. 


The power struggle for the throne should have ended long ago, yet it rages onward, shrouded in conspiracy and murder. 
Pharaoh Akhenaten's plan to regain power from the priesthood of Amun is done, but his religious zeal has stripped the economy and the people's morale. 


Whisperings of rebellion fill the streets as enemies close in on Egypt's borders, leaving Nefertiti to fend off political wolves as she attempts to stabilize the nation and keep her crown.

Secrets in the Sand is the second volume of Lauren Lee Merewether's debut series, The Lost Pharaoh Chronicles, a resurrection of an erased time following the five kings of Egypt who were lost to history for over three millennia. The story continues in book three, Scarab in the Storm.
