“The Treachery of Sisters’ is a riveting tale of ambition, betrayal, and power, reimagining the fierce rivalry between Cleopatra and Arsinoe in a way that will captivate fans of historical fiction and untold stories of ancient Egypt.” – NewInBooks.com
48 BC-the Ptolemy empire is in turmoil as Cleopatra has taken up with Julius Caesar and welcomed the Roman interlopers into Egypt to ensure her place as Pharaoh. Arsinoe, her 14-year-old younger half-sister is determined to take the throne from her, and to chase the Romans…back to Rome. Can this mere girl take on the powerful Caesar and unseat Cleopatra? Or is her effort doomed from the start serving only to hasten her journey to the River Styx and through the underworld that lies beyond.
Based on a true story this is another gem by award winning author Gail Combs Oglesby author of “The Centenary Chronicles-Tales of American Women.” She continues to give us compelling stories with characters you will love, loath, and plot twists that you will never see coming.
