Upcoming Release! Song of the Nile by Stephanie Dray

I am so very excited to bring you the latest information on Stephanie Dray's next novel in her Cleopatra's Daughter Trilogy! Her previous book, Lily of the Nile (my review), was fabulous and I am eager to read this upcoming release. Song of the Nile should be released sometime this Autumn, but the exact publish date is yet to be announced; I will update you as soon as I find out any more information.

Publish date: Autumn 2011, exact date TBA
Format: Paperback

Synopsis (From the authors blog):
"Sorceress. Seductress. Schemer. Cleopatra’s daughter has become the emperor’s most unlikely apprentice and the one woman who can destroy his empire…

Having survived her perilous childhood as a royal captive of Rome, Selene pledged her loyalty to Augustus and swore she would become his very own Cleopatra. Now the young queen faces an uncertain destiny in a foreign land.

Forced to marry a man of the emperor’s choosing, Selene will not allow her new husband to rule in her name. She quickly establishes herself as a capable leader in her own right and as a religious icon. Beginning the hard work of building a new nation, she wins the love of her new subjects and makes herself vital to Rome by bringing forth bountiful harvests.

But it’s the magic of Isis flowing through her veins that makes her indispensable to the emperor. Against a backdrop of imperial politics and religious persecution, Cleopatra’s daughter beguiles her way to the very precipice of power. She has never forgotten her birthright, but will the price of her mother’s throne be more than she’s willing to pay?"
