In 1898, Amelia and Emerson leave Ramses and Nefret in England and return to Egypt for what Amelia intends as a second honeymoon. Their search for evidence connected with Nefertiti’s burial at Amarna is interrupted when Emerson is abducted and returned with his memory of Amelia and their marriage severely damaged.

Amelia must protect an unusually vulnerable Emerson while tracing the conspiracy behind his disappearance. A mysterious woman, a trained animal and a network of criminals turn the excavation into a trap, forcing Amelia to recover both the archaeological evidence and the personal history the abductors have tried to erase.
