Egyptian Royals Collection

Michelle Moran’s Egyptian Royals Collection follows three royal women whose lives are reshaped by dynastic rupture and imperial power. Nefertiti rises beside Akhenaten during the Amarna religious revolution; Nefertari struggles to overcome that discredited legacy at the court of Ramesses II; and Cleopatra Selene is carried to Rome after the defeat of her parents, Cleopatra and Mark Antony.

The novels are connected by theme rather than a continuous family narrative. Each places a young woman inside a court where marriage, succession, religion and public image are instruments of government. Across New Kingdom Egypt and Augustan Rome, the series examines how queens and princesses preserve identity and exercise influence when their bodies, loyalties and futures are controlled by rulers.
