The Pharaoh's Daughter: A Treasures of the Nile Novel

â€œFear is the most fertile ground for faith.â€
Â

Â â€œYou will be called Anippe, daughter of the Nile. Do you like it?â€ Without waiting for a reply, she pulls me into her squishy, round tummy for a hug.
Iâ€™m trying not to cry. Pharaohâ€™s daughters donâ€™t cry.
When we make our way down the tiled hall, I try to stop at ummi Kiyaâ€™s chamber. I know her spirit has flown yet I long for one more moment. Amenia pushes me past so I keep walking and donâ€™t look back.
Like the waters of the Nile, I will flow.
Â
Anippe has grown up in the shadows of Egyptâ€™s good god Pharaoh, aware that Anubis, god of the afterlife, may take her or her siblings at any moment. She watched him snatch her mother and infant brother during childbirth, a moment which awakens in her a terrible dread of ever bearing a child. Now she is to be become the bride of Sebak, a kind but quick-tempered Captain of Pharaoh Tutâ€™s army. In order to provide Sebak the heir he deserves and yet protect herself from the underworld gods, Anippe must launch a series of deceptions, even involving the Hebrew midwivesâ€”women ordered by Tut to drown the sons of their own people in the Nile.
Â Â Â Â When she finds a baby floating in a basket on the great river, Anippe believes Egyptâ€™s gods have answered her pleas, entrenching her more deeply in deception and placing her and her son Mehy, whom handmaiden Miriam calls Moses, in mortal danger.
Â As bloodshed and savage politics shift the balance of power in Egypt, the gods reveal their fickle natures and Anippe wonders if her son, a boy of Hebrew blood, could one day become king. Or does the god of her Hebrew servants, the one they call El Shaddai, have a different planâ€”for them all?
