It will take an army to rule them all. Lust, Betrayal, Loyalty, Power. Hidden behind the palace walls lies secrets and scandals that will quiver a nation and destroy an entire dynasty. If only these palace walls can speak, they'd whisper of a young woman who defied her a tyrant and escaped death itself. Arsinoe's decision to completely defy her older, more famous, sister Cleopatra proves to have a devastating effect on her life and her family. Arsinoe, the rebel queen - the betrayer of the pharaoh, feels the brewing of the storm as she lives out her days in exile.

From the moment I opened my eyes to the night and had my first craving for blood, my Maker twisted and moulded me into exactly what he wanted; trapping me in his hold. Until one day he let me go. Content to live out eternity as no more than a shadow, I do my best to stay out of trouble. But trouble always had a way of finding me. During a hunt, I run into another vampire doing his best to go unnoticed; one so ancient the air around him reeks of power, and he claims he's just escaped imprisonment from the very council that used me to their own ends. Atanas demands I help him until he regains his strength so he can finish what he started a century ago, but I'm not sure that's all he wants from me.
