Praise for Throne of Isis
“Cleopatra's prescient cousin, Dione, sparks the story with her exuberant personality and manages to present a unique perspective on background events.She is joined in her pessimistic reading of signs and portents by Roman augur Lucius Servilius, an engaging figure whose stiff Roman pride crumbles before Dione’s charms, and the two visionaries embark on a sizzling romance.” —Publishers Weekly
