It might be more available in Russian (which is the language I read it in, though now I have both) than English, actually. In which case it'd be Уарда. It's a self-described "romance in Ancient Egypt" written by the guy who discovered the Ebbers Papyrus (and was German).

It's the story of a young monk and his healer pal, a grand-daughter of a man who mummfies bodies, and the eldest daughter (Bent-Anat) and the 14th (or 15th? It's been a while) son of Ramses II. He takes elements of known history, but the story itself is obviously fiction. Good stuff, though.
