It is 1269 BCE, the tenth year in the reign of Ramesses II.

Renni and Mahu are brothers, but they hardly ever see eye to eye. When Mahu’s scheme to steal a heart scarab from the tomb of a famous general goes awry, both boys are left cursed by the general’s ghost until they return it.

Only someone has stolen the heart scarab from them. The boys soon find themselves in a desperate race against time to retrieve the amulet before the dead general’s curse comes true.
