The Desert Queen series is a departure from M.L. Bullock’s usual territory. Set in ancient Egypt, it follows the story of Nefret and Nefertiti through four books published in 2021. The series mixes historical detail with fantasy elements drawn from Egyptian mythology.
For readers who know Bullock mainly for her ghost stories, Desert Queen shows a different side of her writing. The setting is exotic compared to her Southern gothic work, but the focus on strong women navigating dangerous political situations remains consistent.
