Cleopatra's Moon by Vicky Alvear Shecter
The extraordinary story of Cleopatra's only daughter -- now in paperback!
PRINCESS OF EGYPT
Cleopatra Selene is the only daughter of the brilliant Queen Cleopatra of Egypt and General Marcus Antonius of Rome. She's grown up with jewels on her arms, servants at her feet, and all the pleasures of a palace at her command, and she wants only to follow in her mother's footsteps and become a great and powerful queen.
PRISONER OF ROME
Then the Roman ruler Octavianus, who has always wanted Egypt's wealth, launches a war that destroys all Selene has ever known. Taken to live in Octavianus's palace in Rome, she vows to defeat him and reclaim her kingdom at all costs. Yet even as she gathers support for her return, Selene finds herself torn between two young men and two different paths to power. Will love distract her from her goal-or help her achieve her true destiny?
Epic in scope and ravishing in detail, this novel reveals the incredible life of a girl long hidden in history: the remarkable Cleopatra Selene.

Vicky Alvear Shecter has been enthralled by the ancient world since she was ten years old, when photos of classical sculptures such as the Spear Bearer and the Venus de Milo inspired her to wonder about the societies that produced such exquisite art. Alexander the Great Rocks the World, a VOYA Honor Choice for Nonfiction, and Cleopatra Rules! are her two nonfiction works for young readers. It's her debut novel, and it's a good one. Vicky, her husband, and their two children live in Atlanta. Visit Vicky Alvearshecter's website at www.vickyalvearshecter.com.
