About this listen

A magical, groundbreaking reimagining of an iconic queen, from the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author

YOU KNOW MY NAME.

BUT YOU DO NOT KNOW ME.

Your historians call me seductress, but I was ever in love's thrall.

Your playwrights speak of witchcraft, but my talents came from the gods themselves.

Your poets sing of my blood-lust, but I was always protecting my children.

How willfully they refuse to concede that a woman could be powerful, strategic, divinely blessed to rule.

Death will silence me no longer.

This is not the story of how I died. But how I lived.

From one of the most remarkable and acclaimed storytellers of her generation, the #1 bestselling author of Faebound and The Final Strife, this epic and groundbreaking new novel shows us Cleopatra on her own terms.
