I read a book called Daughter of Ra by Moyra Caldecott recently and it tells the story of Ankhesenamun, the sister-wife of the young pharaoh Tutankhamun. It starts by telling us how Akhenaten fell from his position as the ruler of Egypt (the two lands) and how Tutankhamun had to take on that role. Later, after his death the story shifts more to the struggles Ankhesenamun faces with the royal life and its responsibilities.
