Al igual que el resto del mundo, la diudad está impregnada de la magia del mundo antiguo, aunque, con el tiempo, esta haya ido quedando olvidada. Inez tiene todo cuanto una chica podría desear salvo lo que más anhela: a sus aventureros padres, que siempre terminan dejándola atrás. Cuando recibe la noticia de su trágica muerte, Inez hereda una enorme fortuna y pasa a tener un misterioso tutor: un arqueólogo que trabaja con su cuñado egipcio. Decidida a encontrar respuestas, la joven viaja hasta El Cairo llevando consigo sus cuadernos de dibujo y un anillo del oro que su padre le envió antes de morir. Pero, a su llegada, la magia vinculada al anillo la arrastra por un camino en el que descubre que la desaparición de sus padres no fue como su tutor le hizo creer.
Set in 1884, nineteen-year-old Inez travels to Egypt after the sudden death of her parents to uncover the truth about their deaths, and as she attempts to unravel the mysteries her parents sought, she becomes a pawn in a larger game that threatens to kill her.
Bolivian-Argentinian Inez Olivera belongs to the glittering upper society of nineteenth century Buenos Aires, and like the rest of the world, the town is steeped in old world magic that's been largely left behind or forgotten. Inez has everything a girl might want, except for the one thing she yearns the most: her globetrotting parents--who frequently leave her behind. When she receives word of their tragic deaths, Inez inherits their massive fortune and a mysterious guardian, an archaeologist in partnership with his Egyptian brother-in-law. Yearning for answers, Inez sails to Cairo, bringing her sketch pads and an ancient golden ring her father sent to her for safekeeping before he died. But upon her arrival, the old world magic tethered to the ring pulls her down a path where she soon discovers there's more to her parent's disappearance than what her guardian led her to believe. With her guardian's infuriatingly handsome assistant thwarting her at every turn, Inez must rely on ancient magic to uncover the truth about her parent's disappearance--or risk becoming a pawn in a larger game that will kill her.
