Charlie Monet, in charge of props, is the first suspect but soon the suspicion around her turns to worry as it seems she's the next target. Khaleel Rahim, an aspiring writer, is dying for a mystery to solve at his new school. When he sees Charlie sneaking around at night he thinks he's finally found something worth writing about. After discovering Charlie's ability to see visions of the past, Khaleel decides that they're the perfect pair to solve the mystery. With threatening notes, a quiet library and poison disguised as props; somebody in the school is blurring the lines between theatre and reality and the fast friends are about to discover that there's more to boarding school than just silly rumours.

When Hesperia Lilith Doxon flies all the way to Egypt to visit the famous Pyramid Complex, she finds herself falling into an ancient, empty sarcophagus that leads her to travel back in time. Now she's stuck in the hands of a great Pharaoh named Khnum Khufu, as she is claimed to be repossessing the former Queen's deceased body. Although Hesperia is eager to go home, the Pharaoh's unresolved past with the Queen and the impending problems within the royal family and the forces of a foreign city will ultimately hinder her goal. As she embarks on these challenges ahead, an irresistible attraction she feels for the Pharaoh becomes more intense too, especially when she begins to gain the deceased Queen's memories, confusing her heart even more... This is purely written in English.
