"An accomplished storyteller." -John Jakes, "New York Times"
best-selling author From acclaimed novelist Barbara Wood comes the
powerful tale of an Egyptologist determined to find a mythic
treasure buried in the desert sand-even if it costs him his life.
After losing a chance to be an assistant professor, Dr. Mark
Davison is saved from unemployment by a stroke of extraordinary
good fortune. A stranger arrives on his doorstep with an item any
historian would envy-the journal of a Victorian Egyptologist who
disappeared while looking for the legendary tomb of King Akhnaton.
Mark accepts the offer to dig in the fabled sands of Tel el-Amarna
to discover the grave-and a treasure that has eluded every seeker
thus far. But Mark didn't bargain for the seven curses of the Watch
Gods. Silent and stone-faced, the seven gigantic carved figures
have stood sentinel at the entrance to the tomb for more than three
thousand years, created by a fearful priesthood who knew that what
they kept in everlasting quarantine must never be let loose. The
guardians were charged with an evil power that could bring to life
the oldest, most dreadful nightmares of mankind-nightmares that
could annihilate the expedition that dares to disturb the tomb. But
not even danger, myth, or legend will keep Mark from making the
discovery of a lifetime.
