Stephanie Marie Thornton Biography

Stephanie Marie Thornton is a high school history teacher and lives in Alaska with her husband and daughter.

Stephanie's first two novels, The Secret History: A Novel of Empress Theodora and Daughter of the Gods: A Novel of Ancient Egypt reimagine the lives of two of history's forgotten women: Theodora of the Byzantine Empire and Pharaoh Hatshepsut.

Her third and fourth books center around the women who stood behind the greatest conquerors the world has ever seen. The Tiger Queens is the story of Genghis Khan's wife and daughters, while The Conqueror's Wife tells of the women who both loved and hated Alexander the Great.

With her love of the ancient world,Stephanie also joined the H Team to help pen a collaborative novel, Song of War: A Novel of Troy, a new spin on the story of Cassandra, King Priam's cursed seer of a daughter.
