Description
A gripping novel of fateful passions, heartfelt secrets, and the tragic fate of the legendary Cleopatra. An astonishing story about the greatest woman of the ancient world—who was not only the ruler of Egypt, but also the QUEEN OF LOVE!
After the death of Caesar, whom she considered the main man of her life and mourned for years, Cleopatra was sure she could no longer love. How wrong she was! Her feeling for Mark Antony can’t be called simply love—this was desperate, feverish, maddening, suicidal passion that cost both of them not only their kingdoms, but also their lives. Yet neither Cleopatra nor her chosen one regretted it—even before death. Let them have long passed the age of Romeo and Juliet (Mark Antony was over fifty; Cleopatra was under forty—in the ancient world, that was already advanced age!). Let it be easier to win a man than to change him; and let a wonderful lover not always become a proper husband. Let the ruthless war rage around them, armies and fleets perish, kingdoms collapse—still, they will prefer to die together rather than live apart!
