    He built his own city to honor his god the Aten, and he insisted that the people of Egypt do the same. Along with this, he supposedly refused to send troops to defend Egypt's borders thus incurring the wrath of the then General Horemheb. When Tutankhamen becomes pharaoh, he reverses Akhenaten's proclamations and returns the governing center to Thebes and the worship back to the god Amun.However, the damage has been done, and by the time Horemheb attains pharaoh status, he has proclaimed the betrayal of the Egyptian people by Akhenaten so widely and so much, all members of the family including Tutankhamen and Ankhsenamun and Ay are dishonored. Horemheb further insults the family by defacing Ay's tomb after his death. It is Ay's decision before his death to ensure that Ankhsenamun is not subject to dishonor by keeping her final resting place a secret.The historical significance of my story is the main reason I was able to write Sons of the Sphinx.

Selene’s flight takes her to the steps of King Graelen’s castle, the ruler of Evaria. Her past as a Rider and natural talent with a sword make her an excellent candidate for Graelen’s coveted elite guard, the Aranth. The offer of a new life and a chance to someday avenge those who tried to kill her are more than she can resist. She joins their ranks, but quickly learns that life as an Aranth is not all it seems. Secrets are thick in the castle, and Selene finds herself at the center of a series of events that will either save the Realm of Evaria or tear it apart.
