Can an unlikely quartet of heroes save humanity from unstoppable evil?
It was a typical day when third-year university student Edith Orozco boarded her train home but found herself thrust into Ancient Egypt instead.

When bravery is no longer a choice and with the clock ticking, can they save the world from moving one step closer to mayhem and destruction?
Pick up your copy today and join these heroes as they trailblaze through a suspense-filled 24-hour battle for survival.
