Book excerpt: From the author of the Whispers of Atlantis series comes the gritty, intrigue-filled Book I of the Last Pharaoh trilogy, taking the reader on a tumultuous journey with one of the most remarkable women in antiquity.With her father sick and her sister dead by his hands, sixteen-year-old Cleopatra is poised to assume the heavy mantle of power and exercise the divine authority vested in her by the gods of Egypt.But the gilded arches and marble columns hide a grim reality and the gathering of storm clouds. A surly Rome is banging on her doors for debt repayments, the kingdom is on the verge of a civil war, and the dying king's powerful advisors seek to discard her like a rag and control the kingdom through her brother.Now, the young regent must confront her adversaries and walk the tightrope over an abyss of treachery and conflict, because one wrong move means ending three thousand years of Pharaonic rule and turning up as a corpse in the Alexandrian marshes.----In this series: Book I: RegentBook II: Queen - coming, 11/2020Book.
