Did you know the ancient pharaoh’s chose a specific vacation destination to hunt large game like lions, leopards, hippos, crocodiles, gazelles, and more? I first discovered the Faiyum (also spelled Fayoum, Fayum, or Fayyum) and Egypt’s wild beasts while researching The Pharaoh’s Daughter. Many scholars believe King Tut had been on such a hunting venture when he broke his leg. …
Egypt lauded Ra’s lovely chantress, whose heart was stolen by an ambitious priest named Potiphera.
In the powerful prequel to In Feast or Famine, Katesch was taken from her beloved son to become Pharaoh’s Songbird of Memphis. Her influence gains favor for an ambitious young priest named Potiphera.
