In the second novel in New York Times best-selling author Stephanie Dray's thrilling trilogy, Cleopatra's daughter seeks the power to stand against an empire....

Having survived her perilous childhood as a royal captive of Rome, Selene has pledged her loyalty to Emperor Augustus, swearing to become his very own Cleopatra. But even though she is forced to marry a man of the emperor's choosing, Selene will not allow her new husband to rule in her name. Quickly establishing herself as a capable leader, she wins the love of her new subjects and makes herself vital to Rome by bringing forth bountiful harvests with the magic of Isis flowing through her veins.

As she rules the kingdom of Mauretania and contends with imperial politics and religious persecution, Selene beguiles her way to the precipice of power with the ultimate goal of taking back her birthright. But the price of winning back her mother's Egyptian throne may be more than she's willing to pay.

I enjoyed both this book and the first book in the series. The characters are convincing and the magic of the worship of Isis , and it’s numinous and transformative power comes to life.

This one was harder for me than the first and third book in the series. I know this is because of the details of Selene's relationship with Augustus. It was hard to watch Cleopatra Selene's ambition to return to her throne, despite what it may cost her. That said, it followed the first book well and was a pre-curser of what was to come in the third book. I like the details the author includes in describing everything, but Augustus was such a wretched character that admittedly, it was hard to stomach at times. The book was good, but the circumstances were hard.

Good read, but frustrating to stomach at times

I thought that this book was good but also not great at the same time. One thing that I really disliked was the excess of sex. I also would have preferred some kind of warning for sexual abuse, as that came as a surprise. Although I believe that this is a strong story, I think that a lot of it jumped around and there was some unnecessary details.
