An itinerant French mercenary stumbles into the Valley of the Kings; driven by thirst and crazed by the eastern sun, he crawls through a crevice in an ancient wall…
The papyrus roll he found contained weird hieroglyphics, an owl, a bolted door, an eagle, an axe and, strangest of all, Xerefu and Akeru – the lions of Yesterday and Today.

The Revolution was only a means to an end… only a symptom of a deadlier peril, a terror behind the Terror.
Ancient Egyptian power was stronger than the guillotine…
