If you're a fan of fiction based around historical figures, The Heretic Queen is a good book to read.
Set in the Nineteenth Dynasty (New Kingdom) of Ancient Egypt, outcast and orphaned Princess Nefertari must seemingly rise above the dark shadow cast by her infamous relatives, the Heretic Pharaoh Akhenaten and his wife Nefertiti.
Even if you don't read Nefertiti's story first, this story alone makes the reader realise the plot easily enough, while still providing enough intrigue and plot-twists to keep you turning the page.
