Barbara Wharton arrives in Alexandria after a frantic call from her father, Professor Wharton, who’s vanished under mysterious circumstances. With no one else to turn to, she reaches out to Bruce Forrest, a man who seems to know more about the ancient secrets of the city than anyone should—especially the ones that shouldn’t be uncovered. As shadows lengthen and old truths stir, Barbara finds herself drawn into a web of forgotten lore and hidden dangers, where even allies may not be who they seem.
