Against the rising power of Rome, Egypt is the last and strongest bastion of the Eastern Hellenistic kingdoms. Charmian is Cleopatra's half sister, daughter of Pharaoh and a woman of the harem. She shares a great honour and a terrible burden with Cleopatra and their sister Iras - they are fated to defend Egypt from those who would destroy her. So when Roman Julius Caesar comes to Egypt in pursuit of his enemies, Charmian and her sisters are drawn into a deadly struggle. One that will shape the world to come. From mysterious temples hidden in the desert to the perilous palaces of Rome, from the tomb of Alexander the Great to the very Gates of Amenti, Charmian must face foes seen and unseen in a battle for her family, her love and her gods.

Seller's Description:

Cleopatra IV, Iras and Charmian are all daughters of Ptolemy Auletes. But two have been born of serving girls and slaves and only one is fit for the throne. They are very different. But they have all been sworn to each other, in spite of the pressures of thrones and hormones.
Iras wants to study, Cleopatra wants a child and Charmian wants all that life and love can offer. In spite of their separate desires and destinies, they are all inextricably bound to each other by fate and birth.
This is a powerful book to read, one that immerses the reader completely in the land of ancient Egypt and brings it alive. It is more than a tale of pharaohs, tombs and pyramids. This is the living Egypt, its queen embroiled in foreign politics, two very different lovers and the lives of her own half-sisters.
This is a Cleopatra filled with desire, learning, knowledge and the fierceness that will allow her to rule a kingdom. In spite of the men that run across all of their lives, the story is about the lives of its female protagonists, complete with the mysticism and power of the goddess ruling them all.
