Morning Star is a historical novel with fantasy elements by H Rider Haggard, set in Ancient Egypt.[1][2]
The novel is set some time after the expulsion of the Hyksos from Egypt (around 1500-1200 BCE). It focuses on the titular heroine, named Neter-Tua ("Morning Star").[1]
The Australian newspaper The World's News described Morning Star as "a very exciting and cleverly constructed romance".[3] Roger Lancelyn Green praised Morning Star as "one of the best re-creations of Ancient Egypt ever written."[4] E. F. Bleiler described Morning Star as "well-structured, but with a vein of cruelty in the excursion of the wholly-other into human life."[1]
