En el antiguo Egipto, como en la actualidad, la sed de poder está a la orden del día, pero allí los límites entre los mundos de los vivos, los muertos y los dioses se difuminan, permitiendo que estos últimos intervengan en los mundanos asuntos humanos.En las tres aventuras que componen este tomo veremos desarrollarse las intrigas de varios oscuros personajes a los que se opondrá Papyrus con todas sus fuerzas y todos los medios a su alcance, contando también con la ayuda de Imhotep, el gran arquitecto, e incluso del mismo Ramsés para que la empresa llegue a buen fin.También visitaremos nuevos lugares: el recién terminado templo de Abu-Simbel, centro de un peligroso complot; y la ciudad-decorado de Saqaara, última morada del faraón Zoser. El dibujo de De Gieter, bien documentado, se vuelve preciso y fiel a la hora de plasmar esta milenaria arquitectura en todo su esplendor.
