Summary The marriage of Marc Antony and Cleopatra is one of the greatest love stories of all time, a tale of unbridled passion with earth-shaking political consequences. Feared and hunted by the powers in Rome, the lovers choose to die by their own hands as the triumphant armies of Antony?s revengeful rival, Octavian, sweep into Egypt. Their three orphaned children are taken in chains to Rome; only two? the ten-year-old twins Selene and Alexander?survive the journey. Delivered to the household of Octavian?s sister, the siblings cling to each other and to the hope that they will return one day to their rightful place on the throne of Egypt. As they come of age, they are buffeted by the personal ambitions of Octavian?s family and court, by the ever-present threat of slave rebellion, and by the longings and desires deep within their own hearts.
