Sister. Rival. Protector. The spellbinding story of a forgotten daughter and a forgotten goddess. Quiet and reserved, Clemmie is happy in the background.

But at one such party, the words Clemmie interprets from an unusual amulet strike fear into her heart. The beautiful and dangerous glyphs she holds in her hands will change her life forever. Five years later, Clemmie arrives in Egypt on a mission to save what remains of her family.
