Ramses the Great lives again. Cursed by the elixir of life, the immortal pharaoh walks the earth as Ramses the Damned—forever hungry for sensation, haunted by love, and unable to rest. Reawakened in Edwardian London, he hides in plain sight as Dr. Ramsey, scholar and Egyptologist, drawn to the daring and beautiful Julie Stratford. But even passion cannot quiet the memories of his queen, Cleopatra, or the terrible price of immortality.
As forbidden desires and ancient powers intertwine, Ramses faces a choice between eternal longing and ruin.
Anne Rice’s The Mummy, or Ramses the Damned is a darkly sumptuous tale of resurrection, romance, and revenge. A New York Times bestseller hailed as “darkly magical” by USA Today and “seductive” by the San Francisco Chronicle.
