Prince Ramose must expose those who tried to murder him and regain his position as Pharaoh's rightful heir.
But he has been kidnapped by tomb robbers. He will need more than the luck of the gods to get out of this one.
Reviews
"For readers who like to live beyond familiar boundaries"
Sunday Age July 2001
"exciting, informative and, more importantly, vividly entertaining
reading. Author Carole Wilkinson carries us effortlessly into another
place and another time. With an entertaining yarn, what more can you
ask for?"
Magpies July 2001
"Through the eyes of the central character, we get a thoroughly authentic
feeling about what life was like for folk in those far-gone days. Author
Carole Wilkinson, who writes these exciting stories with a verve and
a keen eye for authenticity, has based her fictional leading character,
Ramose, on a real person"
The Literature Base August 2001
"A fascinating, brooding, deliciously chilling setting for a most innovative,
refreshingly original novel, which tingles with spookiness and the ever
present whiff of death."
Sunday Tasmanian July 2001
"Carole Wilkinson has created two very detailed and fascinating worlds
for her readers...An exciting new venture in Australian children's novels
for readers who like to go beyond the predictable."
Bendigo Advertiser August 2001
"Although plot is foremost these books are no formula novels...the
historical structure adds life and colour while unexpected turns of
events are carefully structured."
Reading Time November 2001
"The episodes in the tombs are particularly vivid and claustrophobic,
and many details about life in Egypt are seamlessly woven into this
interesting and exciting adventure."
