When she receives word of their tragic deaths, Inez Inherits their massive fortune and a mysterious guardian, an archacologist in partnership with his Egyptian brother-in-law. YearnIng for answers, Inez sails to Cairo, bringing her sketch pads and a golden ring her father sent to her for safekeeping before he died. But upon her arrival, the old-world magic tethered to the ring pulls her down a path where she discovers there's more to her parents' disappearance than what her guardian led her to believe.

With her guardian's infuriatingly handsome assistant thwarting her at every turn, Inez must rely on ancient magic to uncover the truth about her parents' disappearance-or risk becoming a pawn in a larger game that will kill her.
