Publisher's Synopsis
Casting magic can be quite straightforward, whilst finding the ingredients needed for an ancient spell is anything but! Pharaoh Nakhtifi's place in the afterlife is secure, thanks to Kate, Alex and Cairo. Their success has thwarted the plans of the most powerful, most power-crazed warlock ancient Egypt has ever known. Now that he is directing all his anger at them, there is only one option: remove him from the afterlife, before he can remove them from this life ... Magic must be fought with magic.
The quest starts in modern day Luxor, though soon the young adventurers are having to search for the lost cemetery of the holy bulls at Armant. After travelling back in time to Pharaoh Akhenaton's ancient city of Amarna, harshly controlled by his estranged wife Nefertiti, their search takes them far out into the desert to the lost city of Crocodilopolis.
Having had their ancient memories revealed to them, their respective historical consciousness has changed them. Their need to go evermore their own way threatens not only the success of their mission, but also their friendship.
Kate, Alex and Cairo are taking an extremely adventurous, if not impossibly dangerous route to adulthood.
"Being confused about your feelings does not change in the afterlife, you just become confused with more certainty." Pharaoh Akhenaton
