Cleopatra, the seventh of her name, rules from Alexandria, a beacon of commerce and learning between the desert and the Middle Sea. However, her realm is beset by ethnic rivalries, aristocratic feuds, and courtly intrigues. She must also contend with the insatiable appetite of Julius Caesar, who needs 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 will discover that nothing can be taken at face value and that she can't trust anyone, not even the Queen herself.
