CLEOPATRA: Arsinoe’s Curse

About the Book

TWO ROYAL SISTERS ONE THRONE

A CURSE DOWN THE AGES

Murder on the temple steps. A scarlet stain on the pristine white marble with an imprint that seeps blood down the centuries. A curse that will not die and a forgotten myth whispered through the dusty veil of history.

Lovers Antony and Cleopatra should have had the world at their feet. Instead, they were harassed to their deaths by a series of major disasters. Their tomb was never found. Where is it?

This is their story. From the sculpted sand dunes of exotic Alexandria, its royal palace, temples and conspiracies to the glories of mighty Rome and the dangerous secrets of Ephesus.

Could so many major disasters have been just bad luck or was there a malevolent hand at work, pulling them forever closer to death and the end of their dreams of empire?
