HISTORY OR CHEMISTRY?

London, England, 1848. Egyptology has always fascinated Julia Hanson. A self-taught hieroglyphics expert, she is unable to pursue her occupation because of the societal prejudice against her gender. Her only hope is to attract the attention of Dr. Simon Archer, the famed Egyptologist who discovered the tomb of Twelfth Dynasty Princess An-ket, and offer her services.

Simon is appalled at Julia's interest in "manly pursuits," and quickly dismisses her, to her outrage and disappointment. Overnight, she locks herself in the museum exhibiting Simon's artifacts to expand her Egyptian knowledge. But a flash of lightning awakens the spirit of An-ket, who decides to help Julia win not only Simon's confidence, but his heart as well...
