You don't know her name.  The world remembers only her greatest friend:
Cleopatra.

Raised together in the Alexandrian palace, Chava, the Hebrew daughter of the royal tutor, and Urbi, an Egyptian princess, become as close as sisters - and rivals with their dreams of greatness.  When Urbi unexpectedly ascends the throne as Queen Cleopatra, Chava believes their bond is strong enough to survive.  But absolute power has a way of changing everything.
The ultimate betrayal rips Chava from everything she's ever known and sends her to the lowest rung of Roman society where she must choose between love and honor, between her own desires and God's will for her life is she hopes to rise again.

My Thoughts:
Angela Hunt always brings a unique perspective and a massive amount of apparent research.  In her current series, Hunt tackles The Silent Years.  And, the first book is Egypt's Sister:  A Novel of Cleopatra.  Hunt transports us to the time between the testaments in Scripture.  Readers will find it easy to envision the sights and sounds through Hunt's rich relaying of history and her mix of "what it must have been like" and "what could have happened".  Hunt's book is an easy read and before you know it, you will turn the last page and have a longing for more.

Happy Reading Ya'll,
