On her wedding day, Selene dresses proactively and most of Rome is up in arms since it signifies that she is Augustus' whore.

In Song of the Nile, Selene is married to her tutor, Juba, and they are awarded Mauretania as a kingdom. This series includes a magical aspect, and Selene is portrayed as very haughty albeit royal girl with mysterious wind powers. The first book focused on Cleopatra and Marc Antony's children: Alexander Helios, Cleopatra Selene, and Philadelphus as they were taken to Rome after their parents suicide. I enjoy reading about Cleopatra and Augustus, and this novel infuriated me. I read Dray's first novel, Lily of the Nile and was excited for the follow-up. I was extremely disappointed in this second book in the Cleopatra's Daughter series.
