Cleopatra

You know my name. But you do not know me. In this bold reimagining, Cleopatra speaks on her own terms, a powerful and strategic ruler whose talents were believed to come from the gods. This epic novel, written by Saara El-Arifi, presents a story of love, duty, and defiance set against a richly imagined world. It highlights a queen who protects her children and navigates danger with wit and strength, challenging centuries of myth about what a woman could be. Described by critics and readers as groundbreaking and immersive, the book invites readers to see Cleopatra through a new, unflinching lens. The work is a 352-page paperback released on 26 February 2026 by The Borough Press, an imprint of Penguin Random House USA, showcasing El-Arifi’s signature blend of lush world-building and lyrical prose.

Praise from prominent voices underscores its impact: a masterful, subversive take that blends history with imagination; lush world-building and prose that burn brightly on every page; and a page-turning, addictive narrative that redefines a legendary figure. This is not a story of how she died, but of how she lived.

From one of the most remarkable and acclaimed storytellers of her generation, this epic novel continues El-Arifi’s rise as a #1 bestselling author, following FAEBOUND and THE FINAL STRIFE.
