From the opulent palaces of Alexandria, Cleopatra, the seventh of her name, the avatar of the goddess Isis, and ruler of the Kingdom of Egypt, presides over an abundance of untold riches. The streets of her magnificent city buzz with scholars, sailors, politicians, and priests, while those with the means enjoy a comfortable existence. However, not all are welcomed to partake in the wealth of Egypt's first city. For the peasants and farmers, their lives are at the mercy of the gods and the harvest. Unless, that is, they discover alternative means to provide for their families. Alternative, less savory methods.
On the eve of a grand performance, Herminia, one of Alexandria's most beloved actresses, vanishes, prompting Cleopatra to appoint Tetisheri, her Eye, to investigate. As Tetisheri delves into the truth, she uncovers a mystery that leads her to the darkest corners of the city.
