Summary:

A curse of the centuries

What hideous crime had caused the Grand Priest, Imhotep, to be buried alive? Thirty centuries later, the answer remained a mystery. Yet somehow his deadly Scroll of Thoth retained its power, fatal to those who came in contact with it. There was beautiful Helen Grosvenor, queen-like but somehow vulnerable. Muller, a man who understood the secrets of the ages, and battled against them. Frank Whemple, the young archaeologist who loved Helen, and struggled with the fate that threatened to overwhelm them. And, finally, the mysterious Ardath Bey, forbidding, courtly, and tinged with an ancient guilt.
