The power of Caesar and the beauty of Cleopatra could create a great empire that would have no equal in the world. But this dream was not destined to come true... What awaits Caesarion, the eldest son of the queen?

In the eyes of some, the son of Julius Caesar and the legendary Cleopatra embodies the hopes of Rome and Egypt. Others perceive it as an absurd consequence of the passion that the commander had for the dissolute Egyptian intriguer. Roman Emperor Octavia fears that Caesarion might destroy his dreams of a calm and peaceful life in the empire.

In this striking story of friendship, sincerity, honor and love, Gillian Bradshaw shows how historical events might have unfolded if Caesarion would have avoided inevitable execution and continued his journey without revealing to anyone who he really was.
