Theodosia Throckmorton is in a fix. While attending a reception given by one of the directors of her parents' museum, she stumbles across an old foe in the most surprising circumstances! His reappearance could mean only one thing: the Serpents of Chaos are back.
Once again Theodosia will have to take on secret societies, evil curses, and dark magic too sinister to imagine, especially if it falls into the wrong hands. Blocked at every turn, Theodosia must rely on her own skill and cunning - along with a little help from her friends.
'Archaeology and fantasy fans alike will find much to love in this magical tale chock-full of ancient Egyptian artifacts and details. Theodosia's first-person narration is often very funny as she deals with the adults around her, and the plot is quick and multilayered like a well-wrapped mummy' - School Library Journal
'Clever and exciting ... non-stop action in a delightfully English package' - Booklist
