La pasión de Cleopatra / Ramses the Damned: The Passion of Cleopatra
Una deslumbrante nueva historia de enemistades antiguas y de pasiones actuales, por la autora de La momia -su primera novela sobre Ramsés el Maldito- y las célebres Crónicas Vampíricas.
Gracias a los poderes del elixir de la vida, Ramsés el Grande despierta en la Inglaterra eduardiana. Convertido en inmortal, el antiguo faraón de Egipto está a punto de casarse cuando se ve envuelto en una feroz batalla contra la otrora gran reina Cleopatra. El propio Ramsés es quien la ha resucitado, utilizando el mismo peligroso elixir sobrenatural que devuelve la vida a los muertos.
Sin embargo, mientras Ramsés y Cleopatra rivalizan por comprender los poderes del extraño elixir, una figura aún más antigua, surgida de las brumas de la historia y cuyo enorme poder crece de forma incesante, trama entre las sombras.
Sybil es una reina cuyos dominios se extendieron desde las entonces fértiles tierras del Sahara hasta los confines del mundo, y que ahora podría tener en sus manos no solo la clave de la inmortalidad, sino también los secretos de la milagrosa e incesante expansión del universo.
Una historia apasionante, que disfrutarán no solo los lectores de La momia, sino todos los fans de Anne Rice y de los thrillers con elementos históricos y tintes sobrenaturales.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
From the iconic and bestselling author of The Mummy and The Vampire Chronicles, a mesmerizing, glamorous new tale of ancient feuds and modern passions.
Ramses the Great, former pharaoh of Egypt, is reawakened by the elixir of life in Edwardian England. Now immortal with his bride-to-be, he is swept up in a fierce and deadly battle of wills and psyches against the once-great Queen Cleopatra. Ramses has reawakened Cleopatra with the same perilous elixir whose unworldly force brings the dead back to life. But as these ancient rulers defy one another in their quest to understand the powers of the strange elixir, they are haunted by a mysterious presence even older and more powerful than they, a figure drawn forth from the mists of history who possesses spectacular magical potions and tonics eight millennia old. This is a figure who ruled over an ancient kingdom stretching from the once-fertile earth of the Sahara to the far corners of the world, a queen with a supreme knowledge of the deepest origins of the elixir of life. She may be the only one who can make known to Ramses and Cleopatra the key to their immortality--and the secrets of the miraculous, unknowable, endless expanse of the universe.
