The God’s Favorite

In ancient Egypt's golden temples, Persenet serves in shadow-a half-Greek daughter hiding shameful golden hair beneath heavy wigs, enduring contempt for her foreign blood. When her betrothed chooses her pure-blooded sister instead, betrayal drives her to the Nile's edge, ready to surrender to its dark waters.
Within the Golden House, where concubines whisper of old curses and women disappear into palace shadows, Persenet discovers her fate is far more complex than mere servitude. Summoned before the young Pharaoh, she finds herself entangled in mysteries that defy mortal understanding. Her birthmark burns with divine heat in the royal presence, while amber eyes hold secrets that shift like desert sands.
