New York Times bestselling novelist Marie Benedict transports readers from the glamour and turbulence of 1920s Britain and Cairo to the sands and lush shores of ancient Egypt in Daughter of Egypt. Known for her “delightful blend of historical fiction and suspense,” Benedict weaves a sweeping tale of a young woman who unearths the truth about a forgotten Pharaoh, rewriting both of their legacies forever. In the 1920s, archeologist Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon of Highclere Castle made headlines around the world with the discovery of the treasure-filled tomb of the boy Pharaoh Tutankhamun. But behind it all stood Lady Evelyn Herbert—daughter of Lord Carnarvon—whose daring spirit and relentless curiosity made the momentous find possible. Though not a trained archaeologist, Evelyn nonetheless pursued her passion, determined to leave her mark on the field and be treated as an equal by her male colleagues.
