Philippa Gregory made me a historical fiction fan but I have read most of her books so I have been looking for someone else who does it as well as she does. Enter Michelle Moran! I am happy to say that she is now on my list of favorites.

This book held my attention from beginning to end. At the start of the book, there is a listing of all the "characters" and why they are important to the story. When I read that, I was thinking there were way too many people to keep track of and the book would be confusing. That was not the case. The author does a good job of telling the story and helping you remember who is who.

The story is told from the point of Selene - Cleopatra's daughter. Its very well done and I think I might have learned something about an era that I never really took much interest in.

Enjoy :)
