Cleopatra's Last Passion: A New Novel About the Queen of Love

After the death of Caesar—the main man in her life whom she mourned for years—Cleopatra was sure she could never love again. How wrong she was! Yet her feeling for Mark Antony can hardly be called simply love. It was a desperate, frenzied, mind-destroying, self-destructive passion that cost them both not only their kingdoms but also their lives—still, neither Cleopatra nor the man she chose regretted it, even before death. Let them have long outgrown the age of Romeo and Juliet (Mark Antony was over fifty; Cleopatra was under forty—in the ancient world, that was already late age!). Let it be easier to win a man than to reform him, and let a wonderful lover not always become an exemplary husband. Let ruthless war rage all around, armies and fleets perish, kingdoms fall— they would prefer to die together than live apart! Read a new novel by the author of bestsellers “Cleopatra,” “Nefertiti,” and “Princess Olga”—a breathtaking story of the most passionate woman of the ancient world, who was not only the ruler of Egypt, but also the queen of love!
