Children of Tiber and Nile Deborah L Davitt

Assassins threaten, rebellions rise, as the children of Caesar spread across the world . . . . To escape the poisonous plots of Livia Drusilla, Caesarion must take his pregnant wife, Eurydice to Egypt, into the very teeth of a rebellion fomented by the mage-priests of Thoth. There, they must survive a deadly trap and regain control of the bread-basket of the empire, and the source of much of Rome's current wealth. In Rome, their brother Alexander spreads his growing net of spies and agents, using artists and poets for information and propaganda. He must survive poison now, as he once survived knives, and turn the weapons of the Julii's most determined enemies against them--all without ever being implicated. Selene, their youngest sister, must discover who she is--a difficult task, when the drums of war never cease to beat. She must choose her fate, a decision between two men: Anytllus, the archer son of Marcus Antonius, and grim-faced Tiberius, who has dedicated his life to Pluto. The sands of Egypt cannot stay their strides!
