She leaned back and closed her eyes, picturing the treasures that might be waiting for them on the other side of the wall. The sounds of the valley filled her senses as the work gangs busily hummed in a mélange of Arabic, German, French, and Italian. The drone of their voices combined with the rhythmic sounds of digging, scraping, tapping—creating the echo of an ancient song. It was old music that stirred the blood of every archaeologist who had ever dreamed of finding an unopened tomb, its secret chambers stuffed with golden treasure and royal mummies that had slumbered under the sands for thousands of years…just waiting.

About the Book
AFTER AN ARCHAEOLOGIST BEGINS A COVETED DIG IN EGYPT, SHE UNEARTHS AN ANCIENT MYSTERY THAT UNITES HER WITH A LOST QUEEN . . . AND HER OWN DESTINY.
Broiling in the stifling heat of the Valley of the Kings, an Egyptologist impatiently awaits official permission to unseal and dismantle the wall of a tomb that has escaped discovery for thirty-three centuries. She has been given the chance of a lifetime—to dig at a coveted site where radar scans have revealed two mysterious voids beneath the sands. As the sounds of digging echo through the valley, she wonders if it is possible that long awaited answers to ancient mysteries lie just beneath the tarmac where thousands of oblivious tourists walk every day. She is about to find out.
Thirteen years earlier, a royal princess asked her family to help her in a great deception. She had no idea what the future held, but there was no turning back once the course was set.
Now as Egyptologists from around the world converge on Cairo, they are unaware that destiny has chosen one lost queen to find another.
THE LOST QUEEN OF ENGLAND is a compelling tale that weaves its way through ancient palaces, sails up the Nile, and flies across the desert in a golden chariot, ultimately leading to a captivating conclusion.
