    Description of Cleopatra

    Cleopatra tells her own story in this evocative and sensuous historical epic from the bestselling and award-winning author of Faebound and The Final Strife.

    “You know my name, but you do not know me.”

    Your historians call me seductress, but I was ever in love’s thrall.

    Your playwrights speak of witchcraft, but my talents came from the gods themselves.

    Your poets sing of my bloodlust, but I was always protecting my children.

    How willfully they refuse to concede that a woman could be powerful, strategic, and divinely blessed to rule.

    Death will silence me no longer.

    This is not the story of how I died. But how I lived.
