Sorceress. Seductress. Schemer. Cleopatra’s daughter has become the emperor’s most unlikely apprentice and the one woman who can destroy his empire…
Having survived her perilous childhood as a royal captive of Rome,
Selene pledged her loyalty to Augustus and swore she would become his
very own Cleopatra. Now the young queen faces an uncertain destiny in a
foreign land. Forced to marry a man of the emperor’s choosing, Selene will not
allow her new husband to rule in her name. She quickly establishes
herself as a capable leader in her own right and as a religious icon.
Beginning the hard work of building a new nation, she wins the love of
her new subjects and makes herself vital to Rome by bringing forth
bountiful harvests. But it’s the magic of Isis flowing through her veins that makes her
indispensable to the emperor. Against a backdrop of imperial politics
and religious persecution, Cleopatra’s daughter beguiles her way to the
very precipice of power. She has never forgotten her birthright, but
will the price of her mother’s throne be more than she’s willing to pay?
