Publisher's Synopsis
She was more than a seductress. She was a sovereign. A strategist. A goddess in flesh.
Step beyond the myth and enter the true world of Cleopatra VII-the last Pharaoh of Egypt, the woman Rome feared, and history misunderstood. In this breathtakingly vivid and unflinchingly honest portrait, Daughter of Isis unravels the lies, propaganda, and romanticised legends to reveal a powerful queen whose intellect rivaled her beauty, whose rule reshaped nations, and whose death was not a tragedy-but a choice. Discover the Cleopatra they tried to erase: A polyglot scholar trained in medicine, politics, and alchemy A living embodiment of the goddess Isis, worshipped by her people A fierce ruler who commanded armies, negotiated with emperors, and ruled a golden empire A mother who defied Rome to protect her children and her legacy A woman whose story-once silenced-is now finally told in her full power With rich detail, real historical facts, and evocative storytelling, Tracey Wagstaff brings Cleopatra to life like never before. This is not the tale of a queen who lost her throne-it's the resurrection of a woman who shaped the world and dared to rule it. For fans of historical nonfiction, powerful women, and stories that reclaim the truth-this is Cleopatra as you've never seen her.
