Cleopatra's daughter / Moran, Michelle

When Antony and Cleopatra took their own lives to avoid capture when Octavian invaded Egypt, their orphaned children, ten-year-old twins Selene and Alexander, were sent by Octavian to live with his sister. While hoping to one day return to Egypt, the twins come of age in Rome and are drawn into the politics of the court.

Selene, the daughter of Marc Antony and Cleopatra, is taken with her twin Alexander and younger brother Ptolemy to Rome following the deaths of her parents where she grows up in the household of Octavia, the wife Antony abandoned for Cleopatra, and adjusts to life in the midst of political intrigue.
