Despre această carte electronică
From the international bestselling author comes an unmissable new untelling of the life of one of the most captivating and misrepresented female figures in history.
Cleopatra, Egyptian Princess, grows up the favoured daughter of the Pharoah, hiding amongst the scrolls in the great library of Alexandria with her beloved slave Charmian, longing for the chance one day to write her own story.
Then when her father dies, willing that Cleopatra rule with her selfish brother Ptolemy, danger stirs. As the young Egyptian Queen sails the Nile to greet her people, he plots to destroy her and take the throne for himself.
But while Ptolemy has the power of Egypt behind him, Cleopatra has her wits. And when the great Caesar arrives from Rome, she realises he could be the key to her salvation - though courting this powerful man could cost her everything.
Can Cleopatra save her life, her throne and her beloved Egypt and finally write her own history?
Told from the perspectives of both Cleopatra and Caesar's mistress Servilia, CLEOPATRA is a powerful, unmissable new retelling, drawing out the real woman behind the great legend. A captivating story of female power and vulnerability, of love and loss, fierce friendship and terrible betrayal: it's time to meet the real Cleopatra.
