But behind it all stood Lady Evelyn Herbert—daughter of Lord Carnarvon—whose daring spirit and relentless curiosity made the momentous find possible.Nearly 3\,000 years earlier\, another woman defied the expectations of her time: Hatshepsut\, Egypt’s lost pharaoh. Her reign was bold\, visionary—and nearly erased from history.When Evelyn becomes obsessed with finding Hatshepsut’s secret tomb\, she risks everything to uncover the truth about her reign and keep valued artifacts in Egypt\, their rightful home. But as danger closes in and political tensions rise\, she must make an impossible choice: protect her father’s legacy—or forge her own.Propelled by high adventure and deadly intrigue\, Daughter of Egypt is the story of two ambitious women who lived centuries apart. Both were forced to hide who they were during their lifetimes\, yet ultimately changed history forever. \n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n			About the Author\n\n			\n		\n	\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMarie Benedict is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Queens of Crime\, The Mitford Affair\, Her Hidden Genius\, The Mystery of Mrs. Christie\, The Only Woman in the Room\, Lady Clementine\, Carnegie’s Maid\, The Other Einstein\, and with Victoria Christopher Murray\, the Good Morning America Book Club pick The Personal Librarian and the Target Book of the Year The First Ladies.
