Cairo. The city of a thousand minarets, the center of an ancient civilization and the focus of a striking and cruel escape.
The mission was simple: steal Cleopatra's scepter and deliver it to the Egyptian government. But Ignacio Cortez was not expecting to fall in love with Jane Smith, the Interpol's agent assigned to protect him.
He also wasn't expecting having to escape from a man obsessed with keeping the secrets away from public eye.
Among ancient corridors and millennia-old walls, Ignacio and Jane must set their feelings aside and uncover the mysteries behind an ancient cursed scepter.
If they want to survive, that is.

As tensions rise in the palace, and enemies lurk in the shadows seeking to manipulate his decision, Setka-Re must choose. Will he follow his duty, or will he risk everything for the love that calls to his soul?
