Ominous dreams prompt Egyptian goddess Isis to send Isadora (her modern-day human daughter) to safety in California. Isadora meets gorgeous Orion while designing an ancient Egyptian exhibit; attempted thefts of the artifacts suggest she may not be out of harm's way. Isadora's interactions with her immortal family border on childish, but satisfying romance and light suspense wholly make up for flaws in characterization.
