Gripping' Elizabeth Lee<br></b><br><b>From the international bestselling author comes an unmissable new retelling of the life of one of the most captivating and misrepresented female figures in history.</b><br><br>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.<br><br>Then when her father dies, willing that Cleopatra rule with her selfish brother Ptolemy, danger stirs.

I felt both the sticky heat of Egypt, and the cool breeze of the Queen's apartments at night."<br>***** "10/10 a much needed exploration into one of the most infamous women in ancient history"<br>***** "It shows her not so much as the beautiful seductress we see in other stories but clever and young ruler, and later mother. I liked seeing her grow as a person and ruler, but what I enjoyed most was her relationship with her slave and companion, it added a vulnerable side to her character that we rarely see."<br>***** "Solomon's gift is to immerse you in an immediately believable world and to connect you with character from the start. I found myself constantly wanting to check details reading Cleopatra, fascinated by the woman coming alive before me."<br>***** "I raced through the final section, heart wrung for the women whose story is forgotten in the plays. Just brilliant!"</p>
