What this book is about
Archaeologist Lawrence Stratford discovers the mummy of Ramses the Great, who has been immortal since ancient Egypt. Brought to life in 1914 London, Ramses finds himself confronted with a world changed almost beyond recognition — and by the face of his ancient queen in the body of a stranger. Anne Rice's adventure-romance is atmospheric and sensual, with adult content characteristic of her work.
