Excerpt

“To have a legacy like mine would seem to most a joy, but in retrospect has been our silent destruction through the many generations from the most famous to bear my name, the infamous Cleopatra VII, the Last Pharaoh of Egypt. I am just known as Cleopatra and five generations down from her. The following is the chronicles of her legacy and how it intertwined zealously with that of the Rome she left us to. I am the family historian and have traveled the known world to compile all that she had left behind in her wake. I am also the narrator of this tale I leave for those we left behind to judge us and our actions, now that you are armed with the truth”



-Princess Cleopatra of the Icenii of Britannia”
