A THEFT IN AMENHOTEP III'S PALACE. A CRAZED QUEEN. CAN KIYA RESTORE PEACE TO THE PALACE?
When the Queen's earring goes missing, the entire court of Amenhotep III descends into chaos as the Pharaoh and his Queen search for the only link she has left to her beloved father.
In desperation, and fear of Queen Tiye's formidable wrath, the Pharaoh calls in his High Seer and High Priest in the hopes the gods may look favourably upon their search, and guide them towards the thief who dared to steal from the private chambers of the mighty Pharaoh whilst he slumbered.
With the affairs of state abandoned, it's crucial they find the earring and quickly.
Can Kiya use her gift to restore marital harmony, and will Haremakhet's gods support their quest?
A Theft is a short story set in the universe of Kiya - High Seer of Egypt, first introduced in the House of Scarabs series
Hazel Longuet is the author of the House of Scarabs series, mythological action thrillers that follow a trio thrown together by a heritage passed down their family trees for over 3,000 years. A passionate reader, Hazel's first love was always writing, and an unexpected illness enabled her to write the first book in her series, House of Scarabs. She draws from her varied life experiences to frame much of her writing.
Hazel Longuet's survived a plane crash, a revolution, and even nearly drowned twice - so, to say she's accident-prone is an understatement! A gypsy at heart, Hazel loves to travel. She has lived or worked in Bolivia, Colombia, Egypt, Dubai, and Sweden and has travelled to every continent except Australia. She was raised on the grounds of Longleat, an English Elizabethan stately home, where she cleaned out lions' cages and guided tourists around areas of the house.
As an international business consultant, she was lucky to work with amazing companies and gain friendships with people from around the world. She now splits her time between Egypt and England, where she's shadowed by her devoted Rottweilers, who are rumoured to be the inspiration for some characters in her novels.
