From Colleen McCullough comes a sweeping historical novel that brings to life one of the most famous love stories in history—set against the fall of the Roman Republic.

Focusing on Mark Antony and Cleopatra VII, the novel explores their powerful alliance, passionate relationship, and the political forces that ultimately lead to their downfall.

As Rome teeters on the edge of empire, rivalries intensify—particularly with Octavian—turning personal relationships into matters of state and survival.

Rich in historical detail, the story captures the complexity of power, ambition, loyalty, and love in a world where every decision carries enormous consequences.
