A thrilling adventure of curses, myths and legends set in ancient Egypt, perfect for fans of Emma Carroll and Horrible Histories.

It’s 1249 BCE in ancient Egypt and eleven-year-old Henut is sceptical of just about everything, even the gods. But a mysterious break-in, an unsettling dream and a strangely familiar shadowy figure lead her into a dangerous quest she could never have imagined. Will she really venture into a tomb in the Valley of Kings? She might not have a choice…

Packed with real historical details of the rule of Pharaoh Rameses II, mummification, hieroglyphs, historical figures and the pyramids of Giza, this page-turning thriller about the myths and magic of ancient Egypt will have readers gripped.

Critic reviews

PRAISE FOR CITY OF SPIES Compellingly evocative and fast-paced
PRAISE FOR CITY OF SPIES Another gripping, revealing historical adventure from Lawrence and well worth sharing.
PRAISE FOR BLACKBEARD'S TREASURE This is children's fiction at its best!
PRAISE FOR BLACKBEARD'S TREASURE
Your 8-12 year olds need to get their hands on this swashbuckling adventure by the brilliant Iszi Lawrence.
PRAISE FOR THE UNSTOPPABLE LETTY PEGG
Letty and her friends and rivals are great characters, as are the real life people she comes across at different times in her adventures. Thoroughly recommended.
PRAISE FOR BILLIE SWIFT TAKES FLIGHT
It is brimming with historical detail and really highlights the heroic nature of some very inspirational women. It would be an excellent class story that would provide children with a tale about a thrilling war-time adventure.
