Cleo\u2019s precious mother is dead \u2013 and it isn\u2019t an accident! The Pharaoh\u2019s illegitimate daughter must flee the royal palace at Alexandria or be killed too. As her evil half-sisters finally usurp the throne, Cleo finds sanctuary within the sacred temple of Isis, where four years later she becomes initiated into\u00a0the top-secret Sisters of the Living Knot. But now Isis\u2019s power is failing, Egypt itself is in danger, and the teenage Cleo must prove her loyalty to her goddess by returning to the Alexandria she hates. Her task is to seek out the hidden map which is the key to returning Isis\u2019s power \u2013 on pain of death. But will she be able to evade her horrible sisters and sneak into the secret archives of the Brotherhood of Embalmers? And will she rediscover dreamy Khai, the \u00fcber-hot Librarian boy she met as she fled Alexandria years before? Cleo\u2019s powerful destiny is about to unfold\u2026.<\/p>\n

Gorgeous and evocative, Cleo<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0imagines the life of the teenage Cleopatra before she became the icon we all think we know.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
