The Sekhmet Bed | Libbie Hawker, L. M. Ironside
4 posts | 7 read | 13 to read
The first volume in the reader-acclaimed She-King series, a saga of ancient Egypt's most fascinating royal family. Available on Google Play for the very first time! Is Ahmose's divine gift a blessing or a curse? The second daughter of the Pharaoh, Ahmose has always dreamed of a quiet life as a priestess, serving Egypt's gods, ministering to the people of the Two Lands. But when the Pharaoh dies without an heir, she is given instead as Great Royal Wife to the new king a soldier of common birth. For Ahmose is god-chosen, gifted with the ability to read dreams, and it is her connection to the gods which ensures the new Pharaoh his right to rule. Ahmose's elder sister Mutnofret has been raised to expect the privileged station of Great Royal Wife; her rage at being displaced cannot be soothed. As Ahmose fights the currents of Egypt's politics and Mutnofret's vengeful anger, her youth and inexperience carry her beyond her depth and into the realm of sacrilege. To right her wrongs and save Egypt from the gods' wrath, Ahmose must face her most visceral fear: bearing an heir. But the gods of Egypt are exacting, and even her sacrifice may not be enough to restore the Two Lands to safety. The Sekhmet Bed is the first volume of Libbie Hawker's series The She-King, a family saga of the Thutmoside dynasty.

Coffee and an adventure to Egypt.

It wouldn't let me post w/o tagging, so I had to tag another one of the author's books as "The White Lotus" isn't in their repository yet.

Mehso-so

I really enjoy historical fiction; the only problem is that there a lot of if seems to refer to the same few time periods/events. This story is set in ancient ancient Egypt, seemed well-researched and definitely kept me interested, though it missed a bit of spark for me. A solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️.

Elisa So sorry if it's all jumbled up! I was at the airport and had trouble posting it so I had to copy and pasta and it looks like it got a bit messed up 😬 8y
Elisa Hahahahaha "copy and pasta" — this is getting worse and worse. I need to get some sleep ? 8y

Fantasy/historical fiction set in ancient Egypt? Sounds good.
