Book Blurb:


Spy. Diplomat. Scholar. Adventurer. Princess. This is the untold story of Princess Kleopatra's coming of age before she met the men who would make her name live on in history. The cherished daughter of the powerful Greek pharaoh, King Ptolemy XII, she fought the treachery of her siblings, endured exile and betrayal, and defended the throne from hostile forces on every side. High drama and ancient history combine in this exhaustively researched account of the early life of Egypt's infamous queen, at once a beautiful seductress, brilliant politician, and the most powerful ruler of her time. Sweeping from storied ancient Alexandria across the northern African desert to the chaos of Rome, this novel of the most alluring leader of all time has been heralded as the most authentic, entertaining, and endlessly surprising account of the Egyptian queen ever written.
