Mummies

Five years after the pirate adventure, Josh and Bernie discovered a piece of mummy wrapping covered with Egyptian hieroglyphics in Kim's life chest. They traveled to Egypt but were unable to find the mysterious Luxe City described on the wrapping. It was their only failed adventure. But when April turns 26, she convinces Josh to return to Cairo and resume the search. Pursued by an evil syndicate's mercenaries, the pair are aided by astonishing life chest magic. They find the greatest treasure yet—and experience the most heart-rending tragedy.

Hidden deep inside a mountain, Luxe City was home to Nefertari, an Egyptian queen forced into exile in 2000 BCE by her sister, the power-hungry Tarset. Magic, intrigue, and curses all figured into Nefertari's short, tragic life. Her advisor and true love, Amenken, wrote Nefertari's life story on her mummy wrappings before joining her in the hereafter.
