Summary

"She was Kleopatra...spy, diplomat, master of languages, and true world adventurer, all before she saw the first bloom of womanhood. Far from a mere seductress, Kleopatra was the dynastic and spiritual descendant of Alexander the Great, as well as the daughter of Ptolemy XII, Pharaoh of the Two Lands of Egypt. Sweeping from the great city of Alexandria of the first century B.C. across the northern African desert to the capital of Rome, this is the untold story of Kleopatra's early life before the politics of war, sex, money, and ambition thrust her center stage and secured her etenral place in history." -- Jacket
