Cleopatra By Saara El-Arifi

YOU KNOW MY NAME. BUT YOU DO NOT KNOW ME.

From the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Faebound and The Final Strife comes an enthralling, groundbreaking, and immersive reimagining of history's most iconic queen, told on her own terms.

History has painted Cleopatra through the biased lenses of conquerors and poets: a seductive temptress, a sorceress wielding dark witchcraft, a ruler consumed by bloodlust. But how willfully men refused to concede that a woman could be fiercely intelligent, politically strategic, and divinely blessed to rule. In this sweeping and luminous epic, Cleopatra breaks her silence to reclaim her narrative. Far from a tragic victim of political downfall, she was a mother fiercely protecting her children, a leader in love with power and duty, and a sovereign whose talents came straight from the gods. Hailed as a "masterpiece" by R.F. Kuang and praised for its lush world-building and lyrical prose by Jennifer Saint and Samantha Shannon, this novel reveals the brilliant, vibrant, and fiercely human woman behind the myth.
