In the first century AD, an Egyptian portraitist who calls himself Horatius promises to immortalize a beautiful girl through his work. Two thousand years later, a London-based art conservator, Mia, recognizes her own face in the mummy portrait that has just been delivered to the British Museum. 

The mummified body itself and other artifacts from the find are far from ordinary. Could ancient magic be at play, and will the evasive Professor Livingstone help Mia understand the mystery she is encountering? 

The Mummy Portrait is a compelling parallel story of love and loss. The ancient past intertwines with the present day to weave a beautiful world in which anything is possible.
