Author Description

In the shadow of Egypt's greatest temples, a young woman dares to challenge those who would rewrite history. Set during the reign of Ramses II, The Stone That Remembers follows Nefru, the daughter of a skilled stone-cutter in the workers' village near Thebes. When a powerful official begins altering sacred inscriptions to favor his own family, Nefru discovers a dangerous truth: the walls of Egypt are being carved with lies. With her father Hori and her uncle Khaemwaset, Nefru risks everything to preserve what is real. By night, they correct errors meant to deceive. By day, they carve and paint as if nothing has changed. But when a hidden grid line threatens to expose them, and a royal artist's ambition endangers their lives, Nefru must choose between safety and the truth. This gripping historical novel brings ancient Egypt to vivid life-the dust of the workshop, the tension of royal inspections, the quiet courage of ordinary people who shape eternity with their hands. Perfect for readers who love: Historical fiction set in the ancient world Stories of ordinary people facing impossible choices Richly detailed depictions of Egyptian art and temple life Family loyalty, quiet heroism, and the fight for truth
