About the Book

Egypt, 1936: When anthropology student Charlotte Cross is offered a coveted spot on an archaeological dig in Egypt's Valley of the Kings, she leaps at the opportunity, helping uncover a previously unknown tomb. But after an unbearable tragedy strikes, Charlotte knows her future will never be the same, and she vows never to return to Egypt.

Decades later, in 1978, Charlotte has built a steady career as an associate curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, quietly pursuing a passion project investigating Hathorkare, an overlooked female pharaoh from ancient Egypt. Her world is upended when a prized artifact, the Cerulean Queen, is stolen during a chaotic night at Diana Vreeland's famed Met Gala. Charlotte is forced to return to Egypt to recover the missing piece and confront the past she has long avoided, teaming up with Annie Jenkins, a plucky young Vogue employee thrown unexpectedly into the mystery. Together, they navigate the reawakening of a legendary curse, long-buried secrets, and the resilience it takes to reclaim what was lost — both literal and personal.
