Count Brian Sterling was called a monster. Closed and cruel, he lived behind the stone walls of the family castle, hiding his mutilated face under a mask. Many years ago, his parents died during excavations in Egypt. Lord Sterling is obsessed with revenge. One day, a thief entered his domain, hoping to profit from ancient artifacts. The count caught the thief, but the charming Camilla Montgomery came to ask for him. The lady worked at the British Museum and turned out to be very useful to Sterling in his investigation. Events developed rapidly: mysterious deaths, revived mummies, poisonous snake bites... Camilla begins to be tormented by doubts: who is behind all this? And who is the count: the chosen one of fate or a crazy killer?
