Full description for Cleopatra Confesses

  • Meet teenage Cleopatra in this first-person account of history that captures "sibling rivalry at its most vicious" (Publishers Weekly").It is the first century B.C., an ancient time of everpresent drama and danger. Cleopatra, the third of the pharaoh's six children, is whom her father has chosen to be the next queen of Egypt. But when King Ptolemy is forced into exile, Cleopatra is left alone to fend for herself in a palace rife with intrigue and murder. Smart, courageous, ambitious, and sensuously beautiful, Cleopatra possesses the charm to cause two of history's most famous leaders to fall in love with her. But as her cruel sisters plot to steal the throne, Cleopatra realizes there is only one person on whom she can rely--herself. The tale of her teenage years is a story of power and romance that stands the test of time--centuries later, Cleopatra remains a figure of mystery and intrigue. Now, award-winning author Carolyn Meyer mesmerizes readers with revelations in this novel about one of the greatest women who ever lived.
