From Bram Stoker, the creator of Dracula comes another
thrilling tale of an ancient Queen, her awakening
spirit and relentless obsession to live. Unspeakable
acts of terror begin the night that Egyptologist Abel
Trelawny's body is found lying next to his most prized
possession, the ancient mummy of Queen Tera, with
his right arm savagely torn in seven strange cuts.
The Trelawny mansion is adorned by hundreds of ancient
treasures taken from the Egyptian tombs. Among these
artefacts are explicit instructions from Trelawny
to his daughter: "If I am mysteriously stricken,
I must not be moved from this house. I must never
be alone". What is the power of the mummy? What
does Queen Tera want? Why are violent and terrifying
deaths happening to innocents caught between the battles
of two strong wills? Only an ancient ceremony in this
terror-filled house connects these questions. This
wrapped Queen has been hidden for a quarter of a century,
but now her secrets are spilling out.
