Ma’at Series
**Semi-Finalist – 2025 Chaucer Award for Early Historical Fiction**
A murdered queen. A fragile king. A throne surrounded by enemies.
When Ankhesenamun is thrust into power after her mother’s death, she must rule beside her young, disabled husband, Tutankhamun—and outwit the two men determined to steal Egypt from them. As court intrigue deepens and war looms, a marriage of duty becomes a bond of love, tested by loss, betrayal, and the ruthless ambitions of those closest to the crown.
With Egypt’s sacred balance—Ma’at—on the brink, Ankhesenamun makes one final, dangerous gamble to save her kingdom.
A tragic, gripping tale of power, devotion, and a queen history tried to forget.

**Finalist – 2024 Chaucer Award for Early Historical Fiction**
A queen on trial. A mother pushed to desperation. A soul weighed by the gods.
Murdered and summoned before the gods of the Egyptian Underworld, Queen Nefertiti must prove her life upheld the sacred balance of Ma’at—or be erased into oblivion. As her heart is weighed, she relives the moments that defined her fate: being chosen by the gods, trapped in a forced political marriage to the heretic Pharaoh Akhenaten, and ruling from the shadows as Egypt descended into religious chaos.
