When a priceless scroll disappears from their family’s pottery stall, twelve-year-old Zet and his sister Kat are swept into a thrilling chase across ancient Egypt. With their father away at war and their family struggling to survive, the reward for its return could change everything. Armed with scraps of evidence and whispered secrets, Zet and Kat follow trails of riddles and clues through crowded markets, shadowy alleys, and towering temples. Through twists and turns, the siblings learn lessons of courage, teamwork, and trust—discovering that even ordinary kids can rise to extraordinary challenges.
