Pharaoh - first US edition
by Karen Essex
Sequel to Essex's Kleopatra series about one of the most celebrated, admired,
and reviled women the world has ever known. This one picks up as the 22-year-old
queen of Egypt returns from exile in Rome, overflows with war, sex, political
intrigue and the fruits of Essex's assiduous research on everything from ancient
Egyptian religious ceremonies to traffic laws in Julius Caesar's Rome. Essex's
Kleopatra is ruled by her lust for power. Everything she controls her body, her
money is a tool with which to improve her position and that of her country.
