Chloe, an artist, is exploring an Egyptian tomb with her sister when she enters the chamber of a priestess. Through a confluence of factors, she ends up whisked through time, waking up in the body of an Egyptian woman. Frantic to learn her identity and find a way back home, she has no one to trust and numerous enemies. The noblewoman whose body she usurped has committed evil acts, and Chloe must atone for them. With her life at risk and her options diminishing, she finds herself strangely drawn to the physician assigned to treat her.

With rich detail, this sweeping epic steeps the reader in Egyptian life during the time of Moses. One marvels at the vastness of the tale, the wealth of research, and the vivid images that spring to mind. show more Full of suspense, romance, and mystery, this exquisite story will leave you breathless for the sequel. This exceptional book is a keeper. show less
While suspending my historical data outrage I was able to really enjoy this story.

The writer is actually quite good with putting me in the story and I was able to visualize ancient Egypt the way she wanted me to. The romance was good also.
It was okay story wise, but I found it far too long, and got far too bored. By the time I was hitting half the book I just found myself skimming through to know what happened, so I'll toss it in my 'abandoned' shelf.
Engrossing time travel book of ancient Egypt. Not as good as Diana Gabaldon, but one of the closest I've read to date. I'll definitely read the rest of the series.

A woman travels back in time to the days of the pyramids. A wonderful historical romance. I love the love story.
Chloe Kingsley, una artista residente en Dallas, no imagina cuan largo y enigmático resultará el viaje de vacaciones que emprende con destino a Egipto. Durante la visita a la tercera cámara de Karnak, envuelta en un torbellino de energía, lo último que ve antes de que se haga la oscuridad es la boca de una mujer, abierta en el terror de un grito insonoro.
Transportada a través de los siglos a un pasado remoto, el Egipto de la XVIII dinastía bajo el dominio de Hatshepsut, la reina que se hizo proclamar hija carnal de Amón, Chloe lucha junto a Cheftu contra el caos en el que se precipita un país asolado por terribles plagas, en cuyo origen penden las demandas de libertad de los esclavos hebreos y el anhelo de una tierra prometida.
Chloe Kingsley, artista residente en Dallas, se encuentra de vacaciones en Egipto.

Chloe, en un universo de intrigas, misterios y sorprendentes revelaciones, conoce a Cheftu, un joven médico junto al cual luchará contra el caos en el que se está sumergiendo un país repentinamente atacado por misteriosas plagas, relacionadas, al parecer, con show more las reclamaciones de libertad de un grupo de esclavos que desean volver a su tierra, en Palestina... show less

Thank you.
First words
Egypt was gorgeous. Lapis sky, green palms, sands the color of pale gold.
Last words
(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)Then I froze as the ghost of a voice echoed, rich and velvety, in the blackness around me.
"Chloe?"
