Discover the true story behind the legendary pharaoh in this captivating look into the life of Cleopatra.

Although her name and story might be familiar, much of what we know about Cleopatra is shrouded in mystery. Her life was one of politics, murder, war, marriage and passion – but it was also one of pride, bravery, love and strength. Cleopatra may have lived as a goddess, but, beneath her magnificent exterior, she was just a woman who fought tirelessly for what she felt was rightfully hers.

With dynamic illustrations and a gripping, expertly researched and fact-checked text, this is the story of the woman behind the stories. Prepare to be lost in a world of kings and queens, power and strategy, love and war. Meet one of the most misunderstood women in history, demystify the propaganda spread by the men who feared her and find the truth behind it all, the truth of a powerful queen.
