Theodosia must fight the ancient Egyptian curses which threaten to destroy her parents' museum and bring down the country.

Worse, there are sinister forces who wish to capture the amulet's power for themselves. Theo must summon all her courage and cunning to fight the rising chaos and restore the amulet to its rightful place...
