Would you like a free copy of Michelle Moran’s new book Cleopatra’s Daughter?

Michelle has kindly given me copy that she has personally signed to give to one of you. All you have to do is answer the following question:

Near which Egyptian city does Zahi Hawass believe the tomb of Cleopatra and Mark Antony is located?

It’s up to you how you choose to do answer. You can leave a comment below, contact me privately, or send a tweet to @bennu.

A correct answer will be chosen at random and announced here this time next week and your book delivered to your doorstep.

The marriage of Marc Antony and Cleopatra is one of the greatest love stories of all time, a tale of unbridled passion with earth-shaking political consequences. Feared and hunted by the powers in Rome, the lovers choose to die by their own hands as the triumphant armies of Antony’s vengeful rival, Octavian, sweep into Egypt. Their three orphaned children are taken in chains to Rome, but only two—the ten-year-old twins Selene and Alexander—survive the journey. Delivered to the household of Octavian’s sister, the siblings cling to each other and to the hope that they will return one day to their rightful place on the throne of Egypt. As they come of age, they are buffeted by the personal ambitions of Octavian’s family and court, by the ever-present threat of slave rebellion, and by the longings and desires deep within their own hearts.
