These are the standalone novels by Pauline Gedge, listed in publication order. While Gedge is best known for her Egyptian trilogies, her standalone works cover a wider range of settings and genres, from ancient civilizations to science fiction and horror.

Child of the Morning (1977), her debut, tells the story of Hatshepsut, the female pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty. The Eagle and the Raven (1978) moves to Roman Britain and the resistance of Queen Boudicca. Stargate (1982) is her only science fiction novel. The Twelfth Transforming (1984) returns to Egypt with a story about the controversial pharaoh Akhenaten. Scroll of Saqqara (1990), also published as Mirage, mixes Egyptian history with elements of horror. The Covenant (1992) is a contemporary horror novel and Gedge’s only book set in the modern world.

Each of these novels stands on its own and can be read independently of Gedge’s trilogies or of each other. Child of the Morning remains the most widely read and has never gone out of print since its original publication.
