‘Brilliant… I loved it.’ Santa MontefioreA FORGOTTEN EGYPTIAN GODDESS. A FAMILY IN DANGER. Victorian Egyptologist Clemmie’s dark talents have torn her family apart. Now she has one chance to atone for the past.

Clemmie’s gift for reading hieroglyphs shines at the Egyptian relic parties which have made her father the toast of Victorian society. But at one party, the words she interprets from an unusual amulet strike fear into her heart. The childhood game she used to play about the immortal sisters, Isis and Nephthys, takes on a devastating resonance and it is only by following Nephthys' story back to Egypt that she can undo the mistakes of the past.
