Roman plans for war are entwined with plots in Cleopatra's Egypt. A gripping historical mystery from the New York Times bestselling author of the Kate Shugak series.
The gripping new historical mystery from New York Times bestselling author Dana Stabenow. In Cleopatra’s Egypt, the clouds of war are on the horizon…
Abduction of a Slave unfolds in a time when Cleopatra, seventh of her name, the all-powerful ruler of Egypt, has found her most able and trusted agent in Tetisheri, her Eye of Isis. So when Tetisheri asks permission to visit the Kingdom of Cyrenaica, she is surprised—and suspicious—when her queen grants her leave from Alexandria.
A middleman in Cyrenaica has ceased communication, and Tetisheri's uncle, a master trader, is on a mission to find out why. But there are others in Cyrenaica with hidden agendas: Julius Caesar's spies, Caesar's sworn enemy Mettelus Scipio, and the ever duplicitous King Juba I.
Tetisheri soon realises why Cleopatra consented to her mission, for Cyrenaica is a web of intrigue that also includes Pompey’s widow and an army readying to take on the might of Caesar, who is massing his legions in Sicily. With war on the horizon, Tetisheri’s skills will be stretched to the limit as she also tries to decipher a murder mystery closer to home.
