  At her grandmother's great house in Yorkshire, Kathryn is brought up between the wars to a life of balls and fox hunts, and is expected to make a suitable marriage in due course. With her red-gold curls, blue eyes and spirited personality, she does not lack admirers, but she dreams of having quite a different face, that of a raven-haired princess in a country Kathryn has never visited but feels she already knows. Kathryn's dream of ancient Egypt takes on a disturbing significance when, like the princess, she falls in love against her grandmother's wishes. Then destiny delivers the talisman of Set into her hands, a powerful and evil amulet. Will she succumb to the fatal temptation it offers, or is it possible to learn from the mistakes of past lives? Can love endure over millennia? Kathryn goes to Egypt to find the answers to her questions and uncovers, at the risk of her life, the buried secrets and treasures that concern her so closely.
