The modern world blends with the myth and history of ancient Egypt in a mysterious, highly charged adventure that keeps readers guessing Shabti wakes in a barley field with nothing but a hoe in his hand and a head full of fragmented memories. A vicious master torments his days as he works in the fields with no way of escape—until a hole suspended in mid-air leads him to a room where two shiny gold eyes glitter back at him. Who is he? And to where does this room lead? Amy arrives in Egypt to join her archaeologist father on an excavation. All around her tombs are unearthed, opened, and entered. Left to her own devices, Amy discovers a rock—but not just any rock. A great tawny cat stares back at her from its smooth surface, its shiny gold eyes glittering. Where did it come from? And what should she do now? When past, present, and future collide, it's clear that some things are best left buried.
