The second book in the thrilling time-travel series that Children’s Literature called “upbeat, adventuresome”
In this sequel to the critically acclaimed The Golden Hour , sibling rivalry between twins Xanthe and Xavier threatens to keep them trapped in the past forever.
The Twilight Tourist Frequent Flier Club, an elite organization, sends its trial members—Xanthe and Xavier Alexander, and Rowan and Nina Popplewell—on a mission to Egypt, 58 b.c.e. This trip seems like a snap for the veteran travelers . . . until Xanthe is mistaken for a goddess by none other than Cleopatra. Desperate for some independence from Xavier, Xanthe just can’t resist a little meddling. Escapes from mummy-filled tombs and fights with sword-wielding gladiators are among the many highlights in this thrilling adventure.
