This week my pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
ISBN:9780375856570Author:Friesner, EstherPublisher:Random House Books for Young ReadersSubject:Historical - Ancient CivilizationsPublication Date:September 2010
Ancient Egypt springs to life in this enthralling sequel to Sphinx’s Princess. As she did in Nobody’s Princess and Nobody’s Prize, author Esther Friesner offers readers a fresh look at an iconic figure, blending historical fiction and mythology in a heady concoction.
Hunted . . . Overnight, every aspect of Nefertiti’s life has changed. She is no longer living at the royal palace as the intended bride of the crown prince. Instead, she is being chased by the prince and his soldiers for a crime she did not commit.
Hidden . . . Traveling with two of her dearest friends, including the crown prince’s brother, who helped her escape, Nefertiti takes shelter in the wild hills along the Nile’s west bank. She must rely on her own resourcefulness and skills (all those secret archery lessons prove very useful) as the fugitives fight to survive.
Haunted . . . But the need for justice gnaws at Nefertiti. She is determined to plead her case to the Pharaoh and set things right. As she begins to question long-held sacred beliefs—a questioning that could alter the fabric of Egyptian society—her extraordinary journey from commoner to royalty brings adventure, intrigue, and romance.

Sounds really interesting!
I haven't read the first book, but I love historical fiction, so this might be one for me to check out! :)
I like the sound of this one! I haven't read the first one, so I'll just have to add both to my wishlist. Great pick!
Sounds great, I will just have to read Sphinx Princess first. I really like reading books set in ancient Egypt so I think I'd enjoy this one.
This sounds awesome. Great pick!
I'm waiting on The Iron Thorn here.
Happy reading. :)

I didn't know Sphinx’s Princess has a sequel coming out! I have Esther Friesner's three books but I haven't gotten around to reading it. Great WoW pick. :)
This series sounds interesting. I will have to add Sphinx's Princess to my TBR list. I haven't read any of Ether Friesner's books but I am interested in Ancient Egypt. Great pick!
I don't tend to read much historical fiction, but this sounds really interesting. Will have to keep an eye out for a review when it comes out.
I love books set in Egypt - there is something so passionate, yet compelling about it. This sounds wonderful!
Thanks for reminding me of these--I enjoyed the ones about Helen very much, and have been meaning to get a hold of Sphinx's Princess!
I've to say that this sounds really amazing. Never really read anything in this setting before but the storyline is just... enticing! Nice choice =)
I'm a huge fan of historical fiction so it goes without saying that I'd want to read this. I think I first have to read the first one to this though - but I'm definitely going to hunt it down :)
Sounds really interesting! My pick is here.
I love Historical Fiction, so this is a must-read for me. I still need to read the first in the series, though.
This sounds really interesting. Nefertiti sounds like a strong & clever heroine. I haven't read any of Esther Friesner's books yet, but I like the sound of this one. :)
I absolutely love your blog!!!! I am a new follower!!! I love this cover and description, I love any books that relate to the Egyptian era!!! I am definitely looking forward to reading more from you!!! Feel free to check out my blog at Addicted To Romance
That sounds really interesting. I always love books that deal with a time period that is well known and delve into them deeper! Great pick!
This one sounds pretty good! Great pick!!
Ooh! I loved the first, and have added this one to my fall order. Thanks for the heads up.
