The Sisters is a historical novel set in the 2nd century BC that features the story of the twin sisters Klea and Irene, growing up within the precincts of the temple of Serapis and serving as its wards. This carefully crafted ebook is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. "In front of these early visitors to the temple walked a man with a long staff in his right hand speaking to the two gentlemen who followed, with the air of a professional guide, who is accustomed to talk as if he were reading to his audience out of an invisible book, and whom the hearers are unwilling to interrupt with questions, because they know that his knowledge scarcely extends beyond exactly what he says. Of his two remarkable-looking hearers one was wrapped in a long and splendid robe and wore a rich display of gold chains and rings, while the other wore nothing over his short chiton but a Roman toga thrown over his left shoulder."
