A dark and glittering historical novel of ancient Alexandria and the Greek Pharaohs of Egypt, whose extraordinary dynasty spanned twelve generations - from the death of Alexander the Great to the fall of Cleopatra.
'The House Of The Eagle' chronicles the golden years of the first three Ptolemies - the shrewd Ptolemy Soter, the luxury-loving Ptolemy Philadelphus, the empire-building Ptolemy Euergets - and their tragic queens, pampered mistresses and turbulent children.
Very soon their public triumph is marred by private tragedy, as the Ptolemies face matricide, patricide, fratricide, infanticide, murder and incestuous marriages.
