A dramatic political, cultural and social historical narrative of the period 60-40 BCE in Egypt and Rome, and the three sister queens each seeking power for themselves during this time: Cleopatra, Berenike (executed by their father) and Arsinoe (murdered at sister Cleopatra's request).

Fatal Monsters approaches the three sister queens equally, rather than simply privileging Cleopatra, and examines them in the correct historical and archaeological context, not just through Roman eyes but also Greek and Egyptian ones. This story, the story of three sister queens and the sibling rivalry that brought down a 300-year-old dynasty, has yet to be told.
