Expecting a quiet afternoon at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, sheltered seventeen-year-old Lilliana Young finds herself bound to an awakened mummy, the reincarnated form of Egyptian Prince Amon. She must help him find his brothers and save the world from the dark god Seth. Houck's fast-paced tale twines modern adventure and Egyptian mythology into a somewhat predictable forbidden romance.
