Description
Brought to you by Penguin.
Dive into an ancient world that has long since turned to dust with the dazzling tale of a female warrior queen from Times bestselling author COSTANZA CASATI (Clytemnestra).
---
You are SEMIRAMIS.
You are orphaned and raised on the outskirts of an empire, born into a life of toil and anonymity. But dreams of power and potential course through your veins.
You're strong, cunning and quick... and hungry for more.
If you want the world to know your name, you will have to chart your path from your village of shadows and dust to the hallowed halls your emperors walk.
Legend has it you will rise from nothing to rule kingdoms and command armies.
But how far will you go to claim a throne no one promised you?
And what are you prepared to sacrifice along the way?
