A heart-pounding archaeological thriller for fans of ancient Egypt, supernatural mysteries, and YA historical adventure.

From the sun-scorched sands of the Libyan Desert to the fog-shrouded streets of Edwardian London, The Tomb of Ptahmes delivers a fast-paced blend of history, suspense, and the paranormal.

When teenage Carter Pinsent — son of a famed English archaeologist — stumbles into the discovery of a long-lost tomb, he’s thrust into a world of secrets that could rewrite history.

This is no ordinary burial site. The tomb of Ptahmes, an ancient Egyptian high priest, hides more than artifacts. Strange relics radiate unexplainable energy. Whispers of resurrection swirl in the desert air. And somewhere in the shadows, rival Egyptologists and occult forces are willing to kill to claim its power.

Encountering Sir Robert Ottley — a celebrated yet controversial scholar — his spirited daughter May, and the enigmatic Dr. Belleville, a disgraced spiritualist, Carter embarks on a perilous race against time to save his father's life. From dusty dig sites to candlelit séance rooms, the team must unravel the tomb’s mysteries before its deadly secret escapes into the world.

Perfect for readers who love The Mummy, Jonathan Stroud’s Lockwood & Co., or Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials, this YA historical thriller blends ancient Egypt adventure, supernatural danger, and gripping suspense. Ideal for teens, history buffs, and reluctant readers who crave fast-paced action with a dark, atmospheric twist.
