about this book: Wife of Ay is the second of five standalone prequels of my debut series, The Lost Pharaoh Chronicles. The series covers the Ancient Egyptian New Kingdom, specifically chronicling the reigns of Akhenaten, Smenkare, Neferneferuaten, Tutankhamun, and Ay, whom were all erased by Ay's successor, Horemheb…hence, the series title, The Lost Pharaoh Chronicles. Wife of Ay reveals the origins of Temehu and Ay (the future lost Pharaoh and assumed father of Queen Nefertiti).

I spent a lot of time researching this time period and crafting and outlining before I actually starting writing the series. I find the Amarna period fascinating and loved crafting this story that fit within the historical evidences that have survived to today. Wife of Ay touched my heart inspiring me to pursue my own destiny and hope you feel the same.

I hope each reader finds meaning, enjoyment, thrills and tears in this book and looks forward to the reading the remainder of Prequel and Complement Collections, and if they haven't read the series yet, to dive right on in!

"Author Lauren Lee Merewether delivers another fantastic and engaging slice of ancient history with this immersive and emotive novel. One of the things which I really admire about Merewether's work is her ability to take figures from history and get into the core of their humanity, thereby making them highly relatable to us in contemporary times." - K.C.
