| Summary | "Queen of the Dawn: A Love Tale of Old Egypt" by H. Rider Haggard is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set in ancient Egypt, the story unfolds during a tumultuous time of war and political upheaval. The main character, Nefra, the Princess of Egypt, is introduced amidst the chaos caused by the invasion of the usurping Shepherd Kings, and the narrative hints at her destiny intertwined with her royal bloodline and the fates that await her and her mother, Rima. The opening of the tale establishes a rich backdrop of conflict, detailing the struggle between the reigning Egyptian Pharaohs and the invading Shepherds. As Nefra is born, she becomes the focal point of prophecies, receiving blessings from Egyptian goddesses during a miraculous vision in her birth chamber. Following these auspicious beginnings, Queen Rima is faced with the death of her husband, King Kheperra, and their subsequent perilous situation as adversaries seek to capture her and her child. Rima, embodying strength and resolve, navigates the treacherous political landscape while relying on allies such as Kemmah, her loyal nurse. The tension builds through themes of betrayal, prophecy, and the promise of a brighter future—all intricately woven into the fabric of ancient Egypt’s storied past.
