The long siege is ended. Troy lies in ashes. The black ships of the Greek war-host set sail for home – but for King Odysseus of Ithaca, the return voyage holds hazards far greater than any he faced in the Trojan War. A sequel to Black Ships Before Troy, Rosemary Sutcliff’s retelling of The Odyssey transforms Homer’s complex epic poem into a traveller’s tale with a cast of men, magicians and monsters: the flesh-eating Cyclops, the deadly enchantment of Circe and Odysseus’s battle to regain his wife and long-lost kingdom.

So, to barter for her freedom, she finds herself playing the dangerous role of double spy for two arch enemies—each of whom supports a contender for the throne of Egypt. Against her will, Mara finds herself falling in love with one of her masters, the noble Sheftu, and she starts to believe in his plans of restoring Thutmose III to the throne.

Still a pleaser
I originally read this book as a teenager and oh, how I revered Cleopatra.
I found it my old physical copy recently and decided to search for it on audible. I absolutely loved listening to Josephine Bailey’s voice and found myself craving more when it ended. 3 hours slipped by in no time.

Young Cleopatra
I had to research many books to understand Cleopatra as she is a character in my next book. This book introduced me to a young Cleopatra which really helped me understand why she was the way she was. I am sending one of my characters back in time to meet Cleopatra. Thank you for helping me to understand this powerful young lady and the company she kept.

I was a teenage Cleopatra
I was not able to finish listening to this one. the narrator's voice was annoying and hard to understand. I doubt the real Cleopatra would have accomplished as much as she did if she had whined like this. She was also supposed to have had a musical voice--not like this narrator.

I Could See the Story in My Mind's Eye
The Narrator is a perfect match for this book. The tonal quality of the reading was very pleasant, and the storytelling very engaging. I could see the the characters as described by a young Cleopatra who was growing into her eventual role as Queen of Egypt. The events she witnesses shape her, perhaps playing a role in how she will rule over the people of Egypt. The details regarding the supposed personalities of her family, retinue, and political rivals felt true and convincing.
