Description
When Micah Fennly was eleven years old, he witnessed the tragic death of his sister Mariam. Convinced he was responsible, he allowed his guilt to consume him. One year later, on the anniversary of her death, two mysterious crows deliver to Micah an impossible possession: Mariam's locket. The one Micah gave to Mariam. The one she never took off. The locket she was buried with. Where had the crows found it? Stranger yet is what Micah finds when he opens the locket and looks inside: an Egyptian coin with peculiar markings. This inexplicable discovery leads Micah on a quest for truth that results in the uncovering of a great and terrible secret about his family-a secret involving time travel, an ancient world, and malevolent tyrants who possess the powers of creation...and complete annihilation.
