Fourteen-year-old Jed Collins is en route to Egypt with his parents, and he's anxious.

His archaeologist parents have invited him to be a member of their expedition team, and he's worried that he won't be worthy of that trust and responsibility. His low self-esteem hinders his confidence, but everything is about to change.

A Mysterious Gift

In a village market, an old Egyptian woman gives him a valuable scarab ring and cryptic information about his real identity. Confused, he keeps the information to himself, but events soon give him the courage to solve the mystery on his own. His attention is drawn to a hawk circling high above a nearby cliff. Something tells him that the hawk is actually a messenger. He shares his hunch with the team and soon finds himself granted the honor of first descent into a newly discovered ancient tomb. Inside the tomb, though, what starts out as a frightening fall turns into a magical adventure through time.

An Ancient Adventure

He awakes in ancient Egypt. There, he is known as Prince Djedefre, Djed for short, first son to the pharaoh. Djed and his new best friend, Arki, encounter traitors, treachery, and tomb robbers. It's a time of great mystery and magic for a young man stolen from his own time. Can he find his way home, or is he destined to live out this new life in an ancient land?
