Queen's Love

Cleopatra VII has been remembered for centuries as the queen of seduction—a woman defined by her romances with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, and by the tragedy of her death. Queen's Love dares to tell another story: one where Cleopatra is not merely a figure of passion and scandal, but a visionary ruler, philosopher, and architect of a future that could have been. In this richly imagined re-telling, Cleopatra's love is more than romantic—it is the love of her people, of knowledge, of unity, and of legacy. Her relationships with Caesar and Antony burn brightly, but they are only part of a greater fire: a vision for a world where memory itself becomes law, and where the bonds between nations outlast the ambitions of empires. Through sixty-one chapters, Queen's Love follows Cleopatra from the palaces of Alexandria to the halls of Roman power, to the creation of the Phoenix Accord—a fictional reimagining of an alliance that could have changed the course of history. Alongside her son Caesarion, she seeks not to cling to a dying dynasty, but to plant the seeds of a civilization built on truth, justice, and remembrance. Blending historical fact with philosophical imagination, the novel explores timeless questions: • What if unity triumphed over conquest? • What if a queen's love could outlive her reign? • What if history had listened to her voice? This is not the Cleopatra of scandal—it is the Cleopatra of vision. Her love is an enduring light carried forward by those who survive her, a flame meant to guide future generations. For readers of Margaret George's The Memoirs of Cleopatra and Stacy Schiff's Cleopatra: A Life, Queen's Love offers an intimate, lyrical portrait of a woman whose name has endured for over two thousand years—not for how she died, but for what she built. Step into ancient Egypt at the height of its power. Walk the marble corridors of Alexandria's library. Stand beside the queen who refused to be defined by her lovers, and who dared to imagine a world united not by empire, but by love.
