Cleopatra by H. Rider Haggard, Fiction, Fantasy, Historical, Literary

"Oh, Cleopatra! Cleopatra! thou Destroyer! if I might but tear thy vision from my heart!"

Harmachis, born of old, long-denied royal blood in ancient Egypt, is blessed at birth with the promise of greatness and power . . . and once raised to the Pharaoh's throne, becomes the hope of Egypt against the mailed heel of the Greek and the thrusting spear of the Roman.

Then to him appears Queen Cleopatra, with her eyes of Cyprian violet, her dark waves of hair . . . and her soul-consuming fiery spirit!
