NEW TUESDAY RELEASE: Lily of the Nile
My good writer friend, Stephanie Dray, is having a very exciting day today. Why? Because her debut historical fiction, Lily of the Nile, was just released! I’m so excited for her and remember her working on it during NaNo back in 2008. Now it’s real and it’s so awesome to see someone you know have their dream come true.
HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY, STEPHANIE!
Please check out Lily of the Nile at a bookstore near you!
Based on the true life story of Cleopatra’s daughter.
With her
parents dead, the daughter of Cleopatra and Mark Antony is left at the
mercy of her Roman captors. Heir to one empire and prisoner of
another, it falls to Princess Selene to save her brothers and reclaim
what is rightfully hers…
In the aftermath of
Alexandria’s tragic fall, Princess Selene is taken from Egypt, the
only home she’s ever known. Along with her two surviving brothers,
she’s put on display as a war trophy in Rome. Selene’s captors mock
her royalty and drag her through the streets in chains, but on the
brink of death, the children are spared as a favor to the emperor’s
sister, who takes them to live as hostages in the so-called lamentable
embassy of royal orphans…
Now trapped in a Roman court of
intrigue that reviles her heritage and suspects her faith, Selene
can’t hide the hieroglyphics that carve themselves into her flesh. Nor
can she stop the emperor from using her for his own political ends.
But faced with a new and ruthless Caesar who is obsessed with having a
Cleopatra of his very own, Selene is determined honor her mother’s
lost legacy. The magic of Egypt and Isis remain within her. But can
she succeed where her mother failed? And what will it cost her in a
political game where the only rule is win or die?
