An adventurous debutante refuses to settle for societys expectationsand unleashes international intrigue (and possibly an ancient curse) along the way.Agnes Wilkins is standing in front of an Egyptian mummy, about to make the first cut into the wrappingsabout to unlock ancient (and not-so-ancient) history. She sees herself wearing a pith helmet with antique dust swirling around her. She sees herself as a young Egyptologist who has arrived in Cairo on camelback. She sees herself dreaming. Because reality for a seventeen-year-old debutante in 1815 London does not allow for camelsor dust even. No, Agness encounter with a mummy is happening on Lord Showalters verdant green lawn, where butlers abound and strolling sitar players strain to create an exotic atmosphere for the first party of the season. An unwrapping. And a beginning. Not just of Agness debut season and the ever-shrinking scope of her futurehome, husband, and high society. No, something else begins as well, because the mummy Agnes unwraps is more than a mummy: Its a host for a secret that could unravel a new destinyunleashing a mystery, an international intrigueand possibly a curse.
