She Who Sleeps

By Sax Rohmer and Mystery - Rohmer. Sax

Book Overview

Barry Cumberland's world changes forever when he encounters a beautiful, enigmatic woman moments before crashing his car in the New York countryside. When he wakes, she has vanished without a trace-but her haunting presence lingers in his mind.

The mystery deepens when Cumberland's father, a wealthy collector of Egyptian antiquities, reveals a stunning discovery: an unplundered pyramid containing the perfectly preserved body of an ancient princess. According to legend, she is not dead but sleeping, waiting to be awakened after thousands of years.

As Cumberland joins his father's expedition to Egypt, he becomes convinced that the woman from his accident and the sleeping princess are somehow connected. Deep in the desert, the archaeological team works to unlock the pyramid's secrets, but what they discover challenges everything they thought they knew about life, death, and the boundaries between ancient and modern worlds.

With each revelation, Cumberland finds himself drawn deeper into a mystery that spans millennia. Is the princess truly sleeping? Who was the woman who disappeared? And what will happen if she who sleeps finally awakens? In this atmospheric tale of archaeological adventure and supernatural romance, the sands of Egypt conceal secrets that could change everything.
