What would you do if a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Egypt really did change your life?Plagued with anxiety and mental health struggles her whole life, Julia Wheelwright has always felt like something was missing. During a serendipitous tour of Hatshepsut's temple in Luxor, Julia is ushered into an ancient magical sisterhood charged with keeping the long-dead pharaoh's secrets, and the magic that just might be the missing piece is unleashed.

As the newest among the sisterhood, Julia struggles to find her place and gain the confidence she lost during her adolescence despite her newfound powers. Julia discovers the creators of the traumatic baggage she carries with her-whom she spent years running from- turn out to be fringe members of an equally ancient and powerful brotherhood created by Hatshepsut's jealous and power-hungry stepson, Thutmose III.

The brotherhood is searching for Hatshepsut's secrets-and the key to the dark magic she long denied Thutmose-and they will stop at nothing to retrieve it. Will Julia harness the power she is learning from the sisterhood in the face of grief and the reemergence of traumatizing ghosts from her past, or will she do as she's always done and run away?.
