To Chase the Glowing Hours
"In November 1922, Lady Eve, the twenty-one-year-old daughter of the Earl of Carnarvon, embarks on an extraordinary journey from their opulent home at Highclere Castle to the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. Alongside her father and the renowned archaeologist Howard Carter, Eve experiences a breathtaking moment when they uncover the lavish treasures of King Tutankhamun through a hidden opening in an ancient wall. Amidst the excitement of their adventure, Eve finds herself drawn to the brilliant yet temperamental Carter. But as news of the treasures spreads, the trio faces challenges from peasant laborers, invasive reporters, and Egyptian nationalists advocating for the preservation of their heritage. When tragedy strikes, Eve becomes embroiled in a dramatic struggle to secure her family's claim to the newfound riches, all while navigating her conflicting feelings for Carter and a suitor from her own social class. To Chase the Glowing Hours is a poignant coming-of-age tale that follows Eve's journey from a sheltered girl to a resilient young woman. This richly woven narrative explores themes of love, greed, loss, and self-discovery, set against the backdrop of an exhilarating adventure that reveals the deeper truths of a world beyond her privileged existence"--
