Historical FICTION ages 9+
‘I don’t want to go into someone’s tomb!’ Henut cried. ‘You heard what Meryt said! We’ll be cursed.’
It’s 1249 BC in ancient Egypt and eleven-year-old Henut is sceptical of just about everything, including the gods. But a mysterious break-in, an unsettling dream and a strangely familiar shadowy figure lead her on a dangerous quest that could change her life forever. The last thing Henut wants to do is break into a tomb in the Valley of Kings, but she might not have a choice.
Maybe some secrets are meant to stay buried...
This is the perfect high-action adventure for fans of Horrible Histories, Emma Carroll and Tomb Raider.
