In a kingdom veiled in lies, one queen’s fight for truth could ignite a revolution.

At just thirteen, Nailah ascended the throne of Egypt, her childhood traded for a crown after the tragic loss of her parents. Bound by tradition to marry her uncle, Sethos, Nailah has spent years trapped in a palace of deception and danger. Her every move is shadowed by whispers of treachery, while enemies like Usi, the ruthless military general, lurk in the shadows, threatening her fragile grip on power.

But Nailah is not a queen content with the bloody legacy of her ancestors. She dreams of a better Egypt—one free from corruption and fear. When a mysterious figure named Ra sparks an unfamiliar warmth in her heart, she begins to see a glimmer of hope. Yet, to protect her people, she must continue to wear the mask of an untouchable ruler, lest her vulnerability become a weapon in the hands of her enemies.

Her quest for change takes a perilous turn when she is betrayed, abducted, and left to die in the unforgiving desert. Rescued by rebels who see her as a symbol of resistance, Nailah uncovers an ancient oasis brimming with magic—and a young girl, Eywa, who holds the key to channeling the goddess Isis. With Eywa’s help, Nailah learns truths that shatter her understanding of her kingdom and her own place within it.

Armed with newfound strength and revelations long buried, Nailah must journey into the heart of Egypt’s corruption to reclaim her throne. But as she confronts the forces conspiring against her, she faces a haunting question: is she the savior of her people, or the monster her enemies have long claimed her to be?

Perfect for fans of rich mythology, fierce heroines, and tales of rebellion, The Heart of The Throne is a story of resilience, magic, and the battle for justice.
