But Nefertiti’s greatest challenge arises as she fails to produce a male heir to preserve the dynasty.

At the same time, Egypt's northern provinces waver between loyalty to these young regents and the looming threat of the powerful Hittite empire. The Egyptian army must deter the threat and Tutankhamun longs to perform his duty to fight alongside the army as is customary, but Ankhesenamun begs him to stay home because his disability would mean certain death in battle. Reluctantly, he respects her request. The Egyptians go on to win the battle, but the enemy is victorious in conquering their allies and it does not seem long until Egypt will be forced to fight them alone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor\u003c\/strong\u003e Lisa Llamrei \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detailBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePublisher: \u003cspan\u003eLiminal Books\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePublication date: \u003cspan\u003eFeb. 11 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePrint length: \u003cspan\u003e178\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eI\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eSBN-10: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1965059309\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e978-1965059302\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eItem weight: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e222 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e15.24 x 1.14 x 22.86 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Next Chapter Books and Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53054449320218,"sku":null,"price":27.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/7022\/2362\/files\/6C0DEAF2-8F5B-4E33-8BDB-DC863F100FD0.png?v=1791584453"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.nextchapterbooksandgames.ca\/collections\/historical-fiction\/historical-fiction.oembed","provider":"Next Chapter Books and Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
