Theodosia Throckmorton has an extraordinary ability: she can sense ancient magic. This is most useful, as she spends her life fighting curses in the London Museum of Legends and Antiquities, where her father is head curator of a vast collection of Egyptian artefacts and mummies. When Theo' s mother returns from an archaeological dig bearing the Heart of Egypt, a legendary amulet from a long-lost tomb, Theo soon realises it holds a powerful curse which could threaten all of Britain with war. Worse, there are sinister forces who wish to capture the amulet' s power for themselves. Theo must summon all her courage and cunning to fight the rising chaos and restore the amulet to its rightful place. . .

"A sure bet for Harry Potter fans, as well as Joan Aiken' s and Eva Ibbotson' s readers. This imaginative, supernatural mystery will find word-of-mouth popularity" * Booklist, starred review * "There are surprises aplenty in LaFevers' s spirited debut, a sort of Indiana Jones for girls and a perfect blend of mystery and humour" * Publishers Weekly, starred review * "Vivid descriptions of fog-shrouded London and hot, dusty Cairo enhance the palpable gothic atmosphere, while page-turning action and a plucky, determined heroine add to the book' s appeal" * School Library Journal * "Intrepid Theodosia, age 11, narrates a fantasy steeped in invented and authentic Egyptology, clashing secret societies and pre-WWI European intrigue" * Kirkus * "With Theo Throckmorton . . . girls have a truly independent role model" * Time Out New York *
