The Stolen Queen by Fiona Davis is a captivating historical fiction novel that intertwines the lives of two women across different eras. In 936, Charlotte Cross, a young anthropology student, seizes the chance to join an archaeological expedition in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings. There, she makes a significant discovery but is soon beset by a personal tragedy that compels her to return to New York City.

Decades later, in 978, Charlotte serves as the associate curator of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Egyptian Art Department, dedicating herself to researching Hathorkare, a little-known female pharaoh dismissed by many Egyptologists. Simultaneously, nineteen-year-old Annie Jenkins secures a position assisting the iconic former Vogue fashion editor, Diana Vreeland, in organizing the illustrious Met Gala. Annie is eager to prove herself but quickly realizes the challenges of meeting Vreeland’s exacting standards.

The narrative reaches a turning point on the night of the gala when a priceless artifact from the museum’s Egyptian collection vanishes, and whispers of Hathorkare’s ancient curse resurface. Charlotte and Annie form an unlikely partnership to recover the missing piece, leading them back to Egypt—a place Charlotte vowed never to revisit.

Their journey forces Charlotte to confront her past and the unresolved grief that has shadowed her life. Together, they navigate a web of secrets, danger, and historical intrigue, uncovering truths that bridge the gap between past and present. Davis masterfully weaves themes of resilience, identity, and the enduring impact of history in this enthralling tale.
