The Jewel of Seven Stars (Annotated) #620791

After a mystery attack on Margaret Trelawney's father, young lawyer Malcolm Ross is drawn into the Egyptologist's strange home, where the couple soon discovers they are fighting ancient powers far stronger than they could have anticipated. Tera, the Egyptian queen, has awoken and is on her way to claim what she believes is rightfully hers, no matter the cost to the Trelawney family. The Jewel of Seven Stars, set in London and Cornwall and written at a time when Victorian England was enthralled with the East, represented the apparent contrast between the Orient's cruelty and moral depravity and its exotic beauty and grandeur.
