La faraona oculta

A new living god is crowned after the passing of the great Amenhotep III. His son Amenophis is now pharaoh of Upper and Lower Egypt. But the times of prosperity and peace are about to end: hostilities are reborn with neighboring peoples, hitherto allies, but also between the two women seeking to share the throne, the courtesan Nefertiti and the Mitanni princess Teryshepa; and the pharaoh himself caused an internal schism by abolishing the cult of the traditional gods and imposing the veneration of Aton, the only true god. Far from Thebes, in the luminous Akhenaten, a city that he ordered to be built in his honor, Tutankhamun will be born. But it won't be from Nefertiti's womb... And then everything will happen at breakneck speed: murders, incest, intrigues and betrayals that endanger not only the project for the Pharaoh's kingdom, but also the lives of its main protagonists. Set in Egypt in the 14th century BC, The Hidden Pharaoh is a delicate and exciting narrative whose characters, typical of the collective imagination, come to full life. In this his first novel, Abraham Juárez shows us, with flowing prose, extensive documentation and vivid wit, that history, once again, surpasses fiction.
