11 year-old Theodosia Throckmorton can feel and see dark magic, a handy talent since her parents parents run London's Museum of Legends and Antiquities. Her father is oblivious to the curses on the ancient Egyptian artifacts that her mother, an archaeologist, sends back from her trips. As a result, Theodosia has done extensive research into how to remove dark spells and curses. When a new shipment of artifacts arrive containing a sacred amulet with a curse so powerful it could destroy the British Empire, Theodosia is thrown into dangerous plot of mystery and intrigue. With the help of allies, including a secret organization, she must return the amulet to its rightful place. Filled with adventure, mystery and the supernatural, this is a fun and exciting read!
