Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name. Michelle Moran departs from the ancient world and enters the gilded but troubled court of Marie Antoinette with the intriguing story of Marie Tussaud, a woman who survived the French Revolution only by creating death masks of the beheaded aristocracy. The incredible untold story of the orphaned children of Cleopatra, Egypt’s most powerful and notorious ruler, who are raised in the Ancient Roman court of their parents’ greatest rival. In Ancient Egypt, Nefertiti’s niece, Princess Nefertari, must overcome her family’s past and remake history. The dramatic and historically accurate story of two unforgettable women-Nefertiti and her younger sister-living through a remarkable period of political unrest. An exciting excerpt from Moran’s newest novel Madame Tussaud is also included. The novels, which bring to vivid life some of the most fascinating characters of Ancient Egypt and Ancient Rome, each include a reading group guide. Delve into these stories for an engrossing trip back in time, full of powerful family dynasties, court intrigue, and brave heroines. Three beloved novels by national bestselling author Michelle Moran are now available for the first time in one complete digital collection. Frett is a Stormtrooper who is an Imperial analyst after a device called the Shroud. Merrin is the sweetest Dathmiri Nightsister and does not deserve the hardship given by Frett’s antics. Merrin spends much of her time in the book overcoming her benevolent nature with the use of Dark Side Force powers.Īnother negative note, however, is that the plot is tied to Merrin’s romance with the Stormtrooper Frett. But Merrin isn't able to perform the chant frequently nor reanimate as many dead as Old Daka. Merrin uses the Chant of Resurrection in cool ways by reanimating fallen foes and cracking jokes about the reanimations. In Jedi: Battle Scars Merrin can use the Chant of Resurrection and suffocate Purge Stormtroopers with the ichor from her magic. One enjoyable aspect of Jedi: Battle Scars is the development of Merrin’s Dathomiri magik.
