He confides that the team is in a race to find Cleopatra's lost tomb before a secret band of rebels steals Egypt's last Pharaoh and her diadem.But sabotage and a deadly accident put everyone on high alert, and Terry isn't sure whom to trust. As the line between ally and enemy begins to blur, Terry has to keep her wits about her and figure out who wants the diadem badly enough to kill./
About the author
Always in the mood for a good scare, B. R. MYERS spent most of her teen years behind the covers of Lois Duncan, Ray Bradbury and Stephen King. She is the author of nine YA books. Her contemporary coming-of-age novel Girl on the Run was a CCBC Best Book for Teens pick in 2016. Her most recent publication, Rogue Princess, was chosen by the School Library Journal as one of the Top Ten Best Audiobooks. When not putting her characters in precarious situations, B. R. Myers works as a registered nurse. A member of the Writers’ Federation of Nova Scotia, she lives in Halifax with her family—and there is still a stack of books on her bedside table.
Editorial Reviews
"This second adventure is a delicately woven tapestry of ancient history, supernatural mystery and typical teenage angst. B. R. Myers strikes the perfect balance between suspense and sentiment that keeps readers on edge as Terry navigates Cleopatra's tomb, her emotions from the past and the puzzles of the present." -- Natalie Corbett Sampson, author of It Should Have Been A #GoodDay, Aptitude, and Game Plan
