Overview:
Step into the fog-shrouded museum corridors of Edwardian London with Theodosia Throckmorton, an eleven-year-old girl who can see the ancient curses lurking on Egyptian artefacts everyone else overlooks. This two-book paperback set brings together the first two adventures in Robin LaFevers' Theodosia series, blending real Egyptology with spellbinding fantasy, secret societies, and page-turning mystery. Perfect for confident readers aged 9-12 who love history, magic, and a clever, capable heroine, this collection is an ideal gift or home-library addition.
About the Books:
In Theodosia and the Serpents of Chaos, Theodosia lives among the crumbling relics of her parents' museum, the only member of her family able to sense the dark magic clinging to ancient artefacts. When her mother returns from Egypt with the legendary Heart of Egypt, Theodosia realises the amulet carries a curse powerful enough to bring down the British Empire — and she alone can stop it. Racing through foggy London streets, dodging secret brotherhoods, and outwitting adults who refuse to believe her, Theodosia uses her wits and growing knowledge of ancient magic to keep chaos at bay.
The adventure continues in Theodosia and the Staff of Osiris, as an old enemy resurfaces and the sinister Serpents of Chaos return with a new plot. Theodosia is drawn into a web of stolen relics, hidden staffs of power, and shadowy conspirators determined to unleash catastrophe on Britain. With her loyal cat Isis, her resourceful younger brother, and her own sharp instincts, Theodosia must travel further into danger than ever before. Together, these novels combine fast-paced plotting, genuine historical detail about Egyptian archaeology, and a heroine who proves intelligence and bravery can triumph over ancient evil.
