Description

Ramses The Second, former ruler of Egypt . . . reawakened by the Elixer of Life in turn-of-the-20th-century England, now immortal with his bride-to-be in this mesmerizing, glamorous tale of mystery and adventure, swept up in a fierce and deadly battle of wills and psyches against the once great Queen, Cleopatra, the last in a dynasty of Macedonian Ptolemic rulers, a general under Alexander the Great during his conquest of Egypt. Cleopatra has been reawakened by Ramses by the same perilous and potent elixir whose strange, unworldly powers bring to life those who are dead . . . As these ancient rulers defy one another in their quest for answers to the question of the strange elixir, they are haunted by a mysterious presence even older and more powerful than they, a figure drawn forth from the mists of history who possesses spectacular magical potions and tonics eight millennia old and with a supreme knowledge of the deepest origins of the Elixir of Life, a figure who ruled over an ancient kingdom stretching from the once-fertile earth of the Sahara to the far corners of the world, a kingdom that saw ancient Africa as its seat, brought down by plague, warfare and the mysteries surrounding the Elixir's origins, a queen with the power to make known to Ramses and Cleopatra the secrets that can unlock the truths of their immortality--and the miraculous, unknowable, endless expanse of the universe. From the iconic, bestselling author ofThe Vampire Chronicles-Ramses the Great, former pharaoh of Egypt, is reawakened by the elixir of life in Edwardian England. Now immortal with his bride-to-be, he is swept up in a fierce and deadly battle of wills and psyches against the once-great Queen Cleopatra. In thismesmerizing, glamorous tale of ancient feuds and modern passions, Ramses has reawakened Cleopatra with the same perilous elixir whose unworldly force brings the dead back to life. But as these ancient rulers defy one another in their quest to understand the powers of the strange elixir, they are haunted by a mysterious presence even older and more powerful than they, a figure drawn forth from the mists of history who possesses spectacular magical potions and tonics eight millennia old. This is a figure who ruled over an ancient kingdom stretching from the once-fertile earth of the Sahara to the far corners of the world, a queen with a supreme knowledge of the deepest origins of the elixir of life. She may be the only one who can make known to Ramses and Cleopatra the key to their immortality-and the secrets of the miraculous, unknowable, endless expanse of the universe.
