Passion and seduction, witches and warriors, and history and
mythology combine to bring the timeless story of Cleopatra
to life like never before in this
stunningly original and spellbinding debut. The year is 30 BC. A messenger delivers word to Queen
Cleopatra that her
beloved husband, Antony, has died at his own hand. Desperate
to save her
kingdom and resurrect her husband, Cleopatra summons the
most fearsome
warrior goddess, Sekhmet, and against the warnings of her
scholars she strikes
a mortal bargain. But not even the wisest scholars could
have predicted what
would follow. . . . In exchange for Antony’s soul, Cleopatra is transformed into
a vampiric creature
of mythical proportions, an immortal shapeshifter with
superhuman strength
and an insatiable hunger for human blood—a being at once
ferocious and
seductive. And she is bent on vengeance against those who
have wronged
her family and her kingdom. Clashing against witches and
monsters, gods
and warriors, Cleopatra journeys from the tombs of Egypt to
the great
amphitheaters of Rome to the ancient underworld—where she
will meet her
love once again, and where the battle between man and beast
will determine
the fate of the world. Blending history, fantasy, romance, and the supernatural,
Queen of Kings is a
masterful feat of the imagination that fans of Diana
Gabaldon, Patricia Briggs,
Philippa Gregory, and Neil Gaiman won’t want to miss.
