Fourth Cover ------------ **Even in Failure...** The Heart of Osiris has been stolen, all but one of his Eset-a cultists have been murdered , and his prey has escaped. Nicholas Sforza - an undying mummy resurrected by the power of Osiris - has failed in his righteous dury to Ma'at. All but one of her fellow hunters are dead, her relationship with her best friend is a shambles, and the monster who's responsible has disappeared. Thea Ghandour - a hunter imbued by a mysterious force represented by beings known only as "the Messengers" - is watching her life fall apart all around her. **...One May Still Find Redemption** Yet the one responsible for all this turmoil is not satisfied, Maxwell Carpenter, a rotting horror that will not die has left a trail of terror and destruction in his wake as he heads inexorably toward the Lands of Faith with the ancient prize that he has stolen. Driven to once again taste the life that was stolen from him, he leads a chase to Egypt, where he hopes to unlock the secrets of Osiris' power. The race to this ancient land will tie the fates of these three souls together as the epic year of the Scarab trilogy draws to its stunning conclusion.
