A 3,000-year-old papyrus. A secret worth killing for.

When esteemed papyrologist Dr. Alistair Finch is hired by billionaire Silas Thorne to authenticate a pristine Book of the Dead, he discovers it is unlike any he has ever seen. The elegant script and beautiful illustrations hide a terrifying secret: this is not a guide for the dead, but a cage for a soul so monstrous it was meant to be eternally forgotten.

Realizing Thorne doesn't want to study the artifact but unlock its power, Alistair turns to the one person he can trust: Dr. Kenna Amari, a sharp and dedicated inspector from the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities. Together, they uncover a conspiracy stretching back to the time of the pharaohs, revealing that Thorne's ambition goes far beyond mere collection-he wants to become a god.

Forced to go rogue, the two academics must outwit one of the most powerful men in the world in a desperate gambit to steal the papyrus from his impenetrable London headquarters. It's a heist that will plunge them into a hidden world of secret societies and ancient magic, forcing them to become the very guardians the long-dead scribe prayed would one day answer his warning.
