(3) YA This sequel to Sphinx's Princess continues Friesner's fictionalized story of Nefertiti. The adolescent future royal describes her forbidden romance with Amenophis, brother of her intended groom; her first-person narration also reveals her anger about slavery and other injustices. Back matter explains how little is known about the real historical figures, but the story's intimacy with its characters lends accessibility to an ancient era.
