Bella, a modern toxicologist, wakes up in ancient Egypt as Neferti—a prostitute forced to become a substitute bride for Pharaoh Ramesses, a tyrant feared for drinking "maiden blood." Poisoned by a noble, hunted by priests, and hated by the royal consort, she must survive. But Neferti has secrets: explosives, flood control, and plant toxins. She saves Egypt from rebellion and famine, wins the Pharaoh's trust—and his heart. When he learns she's a time-traveler, he loves her anyway. She defeats every enemy, becomes queen, and carries his child. She was just passing through history. She ended up rewriting it.
