AN OLD JOURNAL CHANGES EVERYTHING.
When Ava and Zac Nightingale and Leah and Sam Jones discover a coded map hidden inside an old journal, they stumble across something no one expected to find.
A connection to Cleopatra.
At first, the map appears to be little more than an intriguing historical puzzle. Then the clues begin to connect. Symbols repeat. Warnings emerge. And the four adventurers realise someone went to extraordinary lengths to make certain the secret disappeared.
More than two thousand years later, they are about to uncover it. But history does not always surrender its secrets willingly.

Cleopatra VII remains one of history's most famous rulers. Yet some of the greatest mysteries surrounding her remain unresolved. Her final resting place has never been conclusively identified. Much of ancient Alexandria lies lost or buried beneath the modern world.
