…she lies in my arms, my sister, my love, my beloved. Her blood stains my hands as her death darkens my eyes. The light fades around me and death rides on the back of the poison that crawls through my body; I long for it to be victorious. I can still see her face smiling up at me as I thrust the knife deep into her heart. I wept as she left me, but soon I will be joining her, and I know she waits for me. If we offended anyone with our actions, then I ask forgiveness now, Lord Ra, but we did not deserve this. The sweet one in her belly did not deserve this.

The Cat stares at me in the dark, its bloody eyes mocking me. If there is any justice in this world or the next, then remember us, Lords of Forever. Remember that for one short, sweet moment, Meresankh and Nebnufer loved each other…remember us…

If you enjoyed The Scarlet Queen, you will want to read the sequel featuring Bella and Peter.
