Description: At just twenty-three years of age, Harriet Heron is an invalid, longing to escape the fog of Victorian London for a place where she can breathe. Together with her devoted mother, Louisa; her god-fearing aunt, Yael; and a book of her own spells inspired by the Egyptian BOOK OF THE DEAD, Harriet travels to a land where the air is tinged with rose and gold, and for the first time begins to experience what it is to live. But Louisa's long-buried past returns, in the form of someone determined to destroy her by preying upon her daughter. And as Harriet journeys towards a destiny no one could have foreseen, Yael is caught up in an Egypt on the brink of revolt, and Louisa must confront the spectres of her own youth...
