Theodosia Throckmorton is shocked when she encounters Mr. Tetley at a museum benefit, knowing his appearance can only mean the Serpents of Chaos are back, leaving Theodosia to face secret societies, evil curses, and dark magic.
Eleven-year-old Theodosia has the ability to detect black magic and ancient curses that are attached to objects in the Museum of Legends and Antiquities, which her father is the curator of, and discovers that a new artifact from Egypt is cursed and she must return it to the tomb it was excavated from before it destroys the British Empire.
