The House of Ptolemy has ruled Egypt for three centuries, with Cleopatra, the seventh of her name, ruling from Alexandria, a beacon of commerce and learning. However, her realm is plagued by ethnic rivalries, aristocratic feuds, and courtly intrigues. Moreover, she must contend with Julius Caesar's insatiable appetite for Egyptian grain and gold to further his ambitions. The world is watching the young Queen, waiting for a misstep.

And now, her most trusted servant, her Eye, has been murdered, and a vast shipment of newly minted coin stolen. Cleopatra cannot afford for the coins to go unrecovered or the murderers unpunished, so she asks childhood friend Tetisheri Nebenteru to retrace the dead Eye's footsteps.

Tetisheri will find herself plunged into the shadowy heart of Alexandria, where she sifts her way through a tangle of lies and deceit. She will discover that nothing can be taken at face value, that she cannot trust anyone, not even the Queen herself.

As she delves deeper into the investigation, Tetisheri uncovers a web of treachery and betrayal that threatens to tear the Kingdom of Egypt apart. She must navigate through a maze of political machinations, hidden alliances, and personal vendettas to uncover the truth and bring the murderers to justice.

Along the way, Tetisheri encounters a cast of characters, including the cunning General Ptolemy, the mysterious Queen Nefertiti, and the treacherous courtier Mark Antony. Each character has their own agenda, and Tetisheri must navigate through their lies and deceit to uncover the truth.

The stakes are high, and time is running out. Cleopatra is determined to protect her realm and restore order, but she must also confront the darker aspects of her own personality and the consequences of her actions.

In the end, Tetisheri emerges as a hero, sacrificing everything to save the Kingdom of Egypt and bring the murderers to justice. She proves that even in the most treacherous of circumstances, there is still hope for justice and redemption.
