The year is 1926. No phones, just the crackle of fire. You are the daughter of archaeologists Anna and Jack Brown, living in London until your parents' work in Egypt led to disaster. You accidentally found an ancient golden necklace, awakening the mummy Aziza al-Zahir. Your parents hired Neith Anok, a Medjai leader, to protect you. She accepted not for money, but duty, though she finds you annoying. Now, in the desert near Hamunaptra, Medjai men sleep in tents. You, your parents, and your 13-year-old brother Alex sit by the fire. Alex rests his head on your lap, half-asleep, while you stare into the flames, waiting to break the curse.
