When an ancient curse awakens, a forbidden love rises from the ashes of history...

Dr. Evelyn Carter, a brilliant British-Egyptian archaeologist, has spent her life chasing legends. But when she unearths a tomb shrouded in warnings of a "sleeping guardian," she ignites a chain of events older than the pyramids. The sarcophagus she opens doesn't hold dust and bones—it releases Amunet, a vengeful warrior mummy cursed for a betrayal he didn't commit. With molten gold eyes and a voice like desert thunder, he's as lethal as he is mesmerizing.

Trapped in a deadly pact, Evelyn and Amunet embark on a perilous quest to shatter the relic binding his soul. From the sun-scorched sands of Egypt to the shadowed temples of Mesopotamia, they'll battle mercenaries, decode celestial riddles, and confront a reincarnated priestess hellbent on vengeance. But as their fragile alliance sparks into a passion that defies time, they discover a truth more dangerous than any curse: love might be the key to breaking the past... or the force that destroys their future.
