Author Description

She was not just a queen - she was a threat to Rome. Raised among betrayals, forced marriages, and blood pacts, Cleopatra learned from childhood that power is not inherited: it is conquered. Educated in philosophy, politics, and foreign languages, she turned her intelligence into a weapon and her presence into strategy. She knew how to captivate Julius Caesar, share an imperial dream with Mark Antony, and challenge the unstoppable rise of Octavian. She loved. She commanded. She fought. She ruled Egypt with cold precision, proclaimed herself the living Isis, and used desire as a diplomatic tool. And when Rome decided to turn her into a trophy, she chose to write her own ending. This book traces her entire life with epic tone and historical rigor: palace intrigues, wars, impossible alliances, and decisions that changed the fate of the Mediterranean. Here you will not find the Cleopatra of myth - you will discover the strategist, the mother, and the queen.
