"Cleopatra Selene, the 16-year-old daughter of Egypt's greatest rulers, Cleopatra and Mark Antony, begins a new life in Rome at her captor's palace, with twin brother Alexandros and younger brother Ptolly. As they encounter palace intrigue, foreign religions, and cruel treatment, Selene mourns her parents and grows into a woman as beautiful and irresistible as her mother. Kirsten Potter's delivery of the first-person point of view, along with her quick pace and youthful voice, evolves as Selene ages and matures. Potter conveys Selene's fears and frustrations as she's torn between two men, two outlooks, and two paths to power in pursuit of returning to her beloved homeland. Potter's delivery of vivid, sensory details transports the listener back to the sands of ancient times."
