About the book: 2008 / The Kingdom of the Living Mummy While participating in an archaeological expedition, Alik Chizhov found a richly decorated tomb of an ancient Egyptian. Sensation! The loudest discovery of the century! But Alik dared... to look into the mummy’s face. And he almost died, mesmerized by the dead gaze of his whitish eyes. The boy rushed to run, but escaping from the ancient evil is not so easy: the path to salvation was cut off by a stone blockage, the flashlight was lost, and absolute darkness reigned all around... Keeper of the cards of fate Several thousand years ago, an event occurred on the land of Ancient Egypt that affected the fate of all subsequent inhabitants of the Earth. The rebellious priestess Kemma created magical Tarot cards that can not predict, but change human destinies. Kemma renounced the former gods, deciding to take their place, but she was unable to fully implement this daring plan. The rebel comprehended the wisdom of Thoth, but could not recognize the treachery in the heart of her lover. Kemma, who deceived the gods, was doomed to eternal imprisonment in parchment and sentenced to oblivion. Having finished with the rebel, the gods of Egypt began to think about what to do with the cards of Fate, which could upset the balance of existence and plunge the world into chaos. They could not be destroyed, and then the goddess of wisdom, Maat, decided to entrust the cards to the Guardian - a mortal woman capable of resisting anyone who would encroach on Kemma’s dangerous creation. Any girl who had strong telekinetic abilities and took the oath of Maat could become a guardian. Nowadays, without wanting it, Annushka Kalistratova has become the Keeper of the cards of fate. She learned of her destiny only when Kemma, who had deceived the gods, escaped from her magical prison and came for the cards that belonged to her. Annushka simply had no choice, and she entered into a mortal duel with the renegade, because the lives of Annushka’s friends and her own fate were at stake…
