Surrounded by the opulence and power of ancient Rome, Selene and Alexander must perform a tightrope act to avoid personal harm among the insidious plots and schemes of the imperial court--even as they dream of returning to Egypt. Once again, bestselling historical novelist Michelle Moran (NEFERTITI) paints a vivid and compelling portrait of life in ancient times, and breathes life into some of the overlooked characters of one of history's greatest legends.

Praise
"Moran skillfully weaves into her latest book plenty of political history and detail without ever weighing down the story, which is fast-paced, intriguing, and beautifully written....In CLEOPATRA'S DAUGHTER, she once again demonstrates her talent for taking long-forgotten historical figures and bringing them vividly to life."
