Hylas and Pirra finally arrive in Egypt, only to find that the dagger Userref guarded is missing. Even worse, Telamon and the Crows are also in Egypt to hunt for the dagger, and they'll stop at nothing until they get what they've come for. But when Hylas realises where the dagger is hidden – in Egypt's ancient tombs, buried with the restless souls of the dead – it's going to take all of his courage to slip inside.

And as his otherworldly visions grow stronger, Hylas isn't confident that he'll have the strength to make it out alive. With Havoc the lioness and Echo the falcon at their sides, Hylas and Pirra must rescue the dagger and make a daring escape... before the gods of Egypt consume them all.

This series should be read in order.

In the turbulent world of the Mediterranean Bronze Age, long before the Greek myths, a boy and a girl battle for survival. With the help of three animal allies—a dolphin, a falcon and a lion cub—they defeat the forces of tyranny and withstand the elemental powers of the gods of land and sea.

Fans of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series will be immersed from beginning to end in this thrilling historical fantasy series.
