    Selene Arsinoe is living in the most volatile time in Egyptian history. Her queen, Cleopatra, is having a love affair with the Roman dictator Julius Caesar. Many Romans and Egyptians alike frown upon the affair. The Romans and Egyptians are tense, most unwilling to associate themselves with the other. But when Selene meets Alexander Helios, apprentice to Mark Antony, the lines between Roman and Egyptian blur, along with those of being loyal and being a traitor. Selene and Alexander form a bond so strong it's almost unbreakable...but will they last, like the pyramids, or will they be torn apart by the nations they love dearly?
