The rebellion of the slaves

Gabriel Véliz

Sinossi

For centuries, the monuments of Ancient Egypt have told stories of pharaohs, gods, and conquests—etched in stone, glorified in gold. But beneath the pillars of the greatest empire in history were the invisible hands and silenced mouths of women who were never meant to be remembered.

Set during the reign of Ramses II, The Rebellion of the Slave Women follows Neferet, a young Nubian girl torn from her homeland and sent to the royal harem of Pi-Ramses as war tribute. In a world of gilded walls and velvet silence, where beauty is a currency and obedience is survival, Neferet is expected to forget who she was.

But Neferet remembers.

Guided by Amunira, a disgraced priestess with fire in her eyes and knowledge in her bones, Neferet embarks on a journey that transforms sorrow into memory, silence into scripture, and fear into flame. As whispers become words, and words become symbols, Neferet joins forces with concubines, servants, kitchen girls, midwives, and hidden scribes. Together, they craft a secret resistance—one not of swords, but of voice.

In the shadows of the palace, they sing.In the perfume of the harem, they encode messages.In the feet of the Pharaoh’s statues, they inscribe truths.And in the waters of the Nile, they set their names afloat in tiny paper boats.

Their rebellion is invisible.But it is unstoppable.

Each chapter unfolds like a chant, a prayer, a forgotten verse. From the forbidden corridors of the royal harem to the sacred chambers of the Temple of Isis, from whispered songs in the baths to open defiance in public ceremonies, The Rebellion of the Slave Women tells the story of those who rose without being seen—and were heard across an empire.

This is not a tale of epic battles or royal power struggles.This is the story of the women history tried to erase.

With lyrical prose, historical depth, and emotional resonance, Gabriel Véliz delivers a poetic novel that honors ancestral memory, feminine strength, and the quiet revolutions that shape the world. Perfect for readers of historical fiction, feminist literature, poetic narrative, and character-driven drama, this novel is a tribute to the voices that once had no place on the scrolls—but now echo under the stars.

Because they did not have statues.But they had voices.And the Nile remembers.

Stella Benson - A Short Story...

Stella Benson

Stella Benson was born on the 6th January 1892 in Easthope, Shropshire to parents who were landed gentry.

Her early years involved frequent household moves which was difficult for the child as she suffered from ill-health. Some of her early education was spent at schools in Germany and Switzerland and by 10 she had developed a lifelong habit of keeping a diary.

In the following years her parents separated, and she rarely saw her father. When she did, he encouraged to pause her writing until she had further experience and could better make sense of the world. When he died, she learned he had been an alcoholic.

A winter spent in the West Indies provided material for her first novel ‘I Pose’ published the following year in 1915.

During the War years she became involved in the women's suffrage movement and dedicated time outside of writing to support the troops and help the poor.

In 1918 she decided to travel spending much time in California, where she also tutored at the University of California, and continued to write. In China she met her future husband and after marrying in London, journeyed with him to his various Custom postings through Nanning, Beihai, and Hong Kong and the Far East.

The works continued to flow novels, short stories, travel essays all helped to build a deserved and burgeoning reputation.

Although her works are now in the forgotten and neglected department her writing style, characters, and narratives more than capably demonstrate her obvious talents.

Stella Benson died of pneumonia on the 7th December 1933, at Hạ Long in the Vietnamese province of Tonkin. She was 40.

"...another highly compelling historical family drama that has plenty of highs, lows, and relatability to offer its readers... One of the things which never ceases to amaze me when I review Merewether's works is the innate sense of humanity that runs through her characters, drawing parallels with modern emotions so that we can relate to lives quite unlike our own." - K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite (★★★★★)
