Details

London, 1906: Theo, twelve, spends all her time at the Museum of Legends and Antiquities, where her father is the curator. When Theo's mother, an archaeologist, returns to London from a dig in Thebes, she brings back many artifacts, including an amulet known as the Heart of Egypt. The relic is priceless but also cursed with very dark magic that only Theo can see-or remove. But before Theo can exorcise it, the Heart of Egypt is stolen. Black-and-white drawings.

Unfortunately, most of the objects are cursed, and only Theodosia can feel it. She is afraid to tell anyone of her gift, for fear she will be sent to an institution. Theo’s solution is to research the curses and nullify them in secret. But this time Henrietta has brought back a treasure so dangerous it threatens to destroy Britain unless returned to its proper resting place—and worse, the object has been stolen from the museum. A shadowy group warns Theo of the object’s true dangers and tasks her to recover it and return it to its tomb—without telling anyone of the secret.
