Publisher's Synopsis
A fast-paced prequel to the highly-rated Last Pharaoh series covering the tumultuous younger years of Cleopatra.
58 B.C., Alexandria, Egypt
Furious with the king's extortionate attempts to repay his debts to Rome, the irate citizens have chased king Ptolemy from Alexandria and crowned his eldest daughter Berenice and wife Cleopatra Tryphaena as queens of Egypt.
Now, the king, with his young daughter Cleopatra, is in Rome where he plots to return to Egypt and regain his throne.
But Berenice has other plans, and when the prize is the throne of Egypt, blood relations that mattered less now matter nothing at all.
Note:
This is a novella ideally read after the Last Pharaoh trilogy. However, there are no spoilers and this work may be read first as well.
