Quest for Ma’at

After her mother, the Queen of Egypt, is murdered, Ankhesenamun finds herself alone. Her husband, Tutankhamun, is disabled and very young so she must focus all of her statecraft on securing his claim to the throne. While powerful officials attempt to exert their influence on her. With guile and courage, she thwarts them and assumes control herself. Rather than alienating Tutankhamun, as she had expected, her actions win his admiration and support.

As she and her teenaged husband gain in maturity and grow in their role as a ruling couple, they must constantly negotiate a balance between securing the throne and growing closer together as husband and wife.
