Abduction of a Slave (Eye of Isis, Bk. 4)

The gripping new historical mystery from New York Times bestselling author Dana Stabenow. In Cleopatra's Egypt, the clouds of war are on the horizon.

Cleopatra, all-powerful ruler of Egypt, has found her most able and trusted agent in Tetisheri, her Eye of Isis. So Tetisheri is surprised - and suspicious - when her queen grants her permission to visit the Kingdom of Cyrenaica.

A middleman in Cyrenaica has ceased communication and Tetisheri's uncle, a master trader, is on a mission to find out why. But there are others in Cyrenaica with hidden agendas: Julius Caesar's spies, Caesar's sworn enemy Metellus Scipio, and the ever duplicitous King Juba I.

Tetisheri soon realises why Cleopatra consented to her journey, for Cyrenaica is a web of intrigue that also includes Pompey's widow and an army readying to take on the might of Caesar's legions.

With war on the horizon, Tetisheri's skills will be stretched to the limit as she also tries to decipher a murder mystery closer to home.
