When Naomi’s sisters are snatched up to be taken to be wives of the erratic Pharaoh, Akhenaten, she knows they won’t survive the palace, so she offers herself in their place. The fearsome Commander Horemheb sees her courage, and knows she is exactly what he is looking for…

The Great Queen Nefertiti despises Naomi instantly, and strips her of her Hebrew lineage, including her name, which is changed to Kiya. Kiya allies herself with Horemheb, who pushes her to greatness and encourages her to make the Pharaoh fall in love with her. When Akhenaten declares Kiya will be the mother of his heir, Nefertiti, furious with jealousy, schemes to destroy Kiya.

Kiya must play the deadly game carefully. She is in a silent battle of wills, and a struggle for who will one day inherit the crown. If she does bear an heir, she knows she will need to fight to protect him, as well as herself, from Nefertiti who is out for blood.

What did you like most about KIYA: Hope of the Pharaoh?

I really enjoyed the story, and had read a previous one. When reading the previous one I was really THERE.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator's voice I found to be grating and irritating, and having watched dozens of documentaries on ancient Egypt her pronunciation of the historical names was just .... grrrr.

Great Story - Annoying narrator.

Had to stop listening a few minutes in. Awful, making Kiya sound spunky like orphan Annie.

Terrible recording
