About this title

Review

'The Drowning King contains everything that a real-life Game of Thrones would: sibling incest, backstabbing court politics, invasions and treachery at every turn. Don't miss this enthralling installment in the Fall of Egypt saga, and be sure to pick up the remaining two volumes when they hit shelves' (Book Reporter)

'Readers fascinated by political intrigue and dynasty building of the ancient world will enjoy this, especially if they have read the first volume' (Library Journal)

'A fast-moving, heart-poundingly good follow-up' (Marie Claire)

'Holleman's poetic language contributes to the atmosphere of intrigue and menace, expertly capturing the roiling anxieties of the principals as they battle for Rome's scraps. Holleman's gift of characterization will have readers rooting for all three Egyptian royals, hoping against historical fact that this sibling rivalry has no losers - at least not until the next installment' (Kirkus Reviews)
