Book 2 in the Tamzin Clarke series: Life was finally getting back to normal after Jack the Ripper turned Tamzin's town upside down. New excitement surrounds the Mummy Extravaganza exhibit at the science museum. Tamzin's dad has received some of the artifacts, and he seems to have a past with the curator of the exhibit, Miral Nefertari. Amidst all the excitement, people have started disappearing. Tamzin has been having dreams about pharaohs and priestesses from ancient Egypt. Could this have something to do with the scarab brooch she found in her father's antique store? Tamzin is on the case.

Her entire life she has feared her power and its connection to her mother's murder. When Vivian Cartwright was five years old, she witnessed her mother's death. Now, 16-year-old Vivian only wants a normal life, hard to accomplish when you possess the power to control energy. She has kept her ability a secret from everyone except her guardian, Charlotte, who has hidden Vivian from the man responsible for her mother's murder. Her secret is safe until Vivian defends herself at school using her power. After this first use of her gift in many years, Vivian's power seems to take on a mind of its own, increasing in strength and demanding to be used. This increase in power also brings dreams of her mother's death and the mysterious man associated with it. In her desire to unlock her past, Vivian is forced to use her supernatural gift over and over. With each use, Vivian fears she is losing control and discovers her powers are growing - maybe too much - bringing her unknowingly closer to the man who murdered her mother.

Seventy-five-year-old Zac—who is young for a dragon—has endured taunts and pranks from the other dragons in his secluded village for years, and brought shame and disgrace to his family because he can’t seem to get the hang of breathing flames.
