There’s more than one path to immortality…
A thrilling, chilling reimagining of the story of the most famous woman in history.
Once there was a queen of Egypt…a queen who became through magic something else…
The
year is 30 BC. Octavian Caesar and his massed legions are poised to
enter Alexandria. A messenger informs Egypt’s queen, Cleopatra, that her
beloved Mark Antony has died by his own hand. Desperate to save her
kingdom, resurrect her husband and protect all she holds dear, Cleopatra
turns to the gods for help. Ignoring the warnings of those around her,
she summons Sekhmet, goddess of death and destruction, and strikes a
mortal bargain. And not even the wisest of Egypt’s scholars could have
predicted what would follow…
It is a journey that will take her
from the tombs of the Pharaohs to the great amphitheatres of imperial
Rome and on, to Hell itself where, it seems, the fate of the world will
finally be decided.
Blending authentic historical fiction and
the darkest of fantasy, Queen of Kings is a spectacular and
spellbinding feat of the imagination that fans of Neil Gaiman, Diana
Gabaldon, George R.R. Martin, Patricia Briggs, Philippa Gregory, and
Ridley Scott's Gladiator won’t want to miss.
