ONE CAT. TWO GIRLS. THREE WAYS TO DIE.

It is 1871, and twin sisters are bound for Egypt aboard the steamship SS Australia;

One lies coughing in her bed, the other is consumed by visions of the past...

...while a stranger watches from the shadows planning his attack.

After receiving an amulet as a gift, fourteen-year-old Rose’s nights are haunted by the adventures of a temple cat in ancient times - while by day she feels ever more alone. When a sinister Egyptologist joins the ship Rose senses terrible danger, but no one will listen to her warnings.

Rose’s dreams propel her on a quest inspired by an ancient mystery, and she needs her sister by her side. Can they put the past to rest and escape their enemy’s clutches or will they be sacrificed to the Egyptian gods in a blood ritual as old as time itself?
