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.

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.
