Contrary to popular belief, she was never a beauty - small in stature, hooked nose, protruding chin, uneven teeth - but the men next to her lost their heads and were ready to give their lives for one night with Cleopatra. Her lovemaking skills were legendary. No one could resist the magic of her voice and gaze, her sharp mind and incredible feminine strength. Three of the greatest geniuses of the era were madly in love with her - Gaius Julius Caesar, Mark Antony and Octavian Augustus. In Egypt, she was revered as the living embodiment of the mother goddess Isis, and in Rome she was glorified as “the libertine on the throne.” Cleopatra's feasts eclipsed Lucullov's; even the Roman nobility could not dream of the luxury of her court. At the same time, the last queen of Egypt was fluent in nine languages, wrote mathematical treatises and was a brilliant economist and wise ruler... A new novel from the author of the bestseller “Princess Olga”! An exciting story about love secrets, passions and the tragic fate of the greatest woman of the Ancient World, who was cramped within the framework of the male era, for whom even the royal throne was small, and who was ahead of time by entire millennia, forever inscribing her name in history.
