As the nineteenth century turns into the twentieth, the world looks to a future of revolutionary science and extraordinary machines. Archaeologist Eleanor Folley looks back to Egypt's ancient mysteries and her mother's inexplicable, haunting disappearance. Agent Virgil Mallory, a man with ghosts and monsters of his own, brings evidence of a crime, taking them both on a thrilling adventure that carries them from Paris to Egypt, and from the present to the ancient past. Uncovering the truth exposes a dangerous game of life, death, and uncanny powers!

Paris, 1889. Eleanor Folley and Virgil Mallory return in this standalone steampunk adventure, set after the events in Rings of Anubis. A bungled museum theft. An ancient Egyptian riddle. The rumor of strange creatures moving beneath the streets of Paris. Eleanor Folley knew she was in for a challenge when she accepted the task of cataloging Mistral’s archive of purloined artifacts, but she never expected to discover an Egyptian mystery buried in the heart of Paris. When Anubis and Horus task her with a quest, she cannot refuse the ancient gods, even if it means venturing into the cathedrals of bones that clutter the catacombs of Paris.

A mummy bound in honey. An auction of archaic wonders. An immortal link to the past. Beneath the streets of Alexandria, Agent Cleo Barclay stumbled into a catacomb that changed her life. Her arms were taken, transfigured, and something remarkable was revealed—something that will stir an ancient life from the ashes of history. A serpentine sarcophagus holds clues to Cleo's past and future. She enlists Eleanor Folley and Virgil Mallory to collect the artifact at auction, to unravel its mysteries and her own. When the sarcophagus falls into the hands of an enigmatic Egyptologist, they find themselves participants in his diabolical pursuits. Drawn to Alexandria by their friend—and the temptations of a newly discovered ring—Folley and Mallory will be challenged as never before.
