Features: Three thousand years ago, the wealthiest pharaoh of ancient Egypt, Seti I, was murdered after discovering the affair between his beloved queen and the high priest Imhotep. Imhotep was mummified alive and subjected to the terrifying curse of ancient Egypt: he would live forever, forever suffering the torment of being bitten by dung beetles. But there was a terrifying price to pay for carrying out this curse: if the cursed high priest and his lover returned to the world, he would be invincible, and they could unleash a terrible plague upon the world, utterly destroying it. Three thousand years later. A fugitive legionary soldier, a beautiful female librarian, and her roguish older brother arrive at the "city of the dead," where Imhotep was buried, and accidentally awaken the demon from three thousand years ago. The Hollywood blockbuster series "The Mummy" (including "The Mummy" and "The Mummy Returns") has become a fantasy classic alongside "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings." The novel series "The Mummy" will take you back to the haunted tomb city of the undead, recreating the mysterious and perilous legend of gods and demons with the charm of words.
