\n\nAbout \;The Stolen Queen: \;Egypt\, 1936: When anthropology student Charlotte Cross is offered a coveted spot on an archaeological dig in Egypt&rsquo\;s Valley of the Kings\, she leaps at the opportunity. That is until an unbearable tragedy strikes. \;New York City\, 1978: Nineteen-year-old Annie Jenkins is thrilled when she lands an opportunity to work for former \;Vogue \;fashion editor Diana Vreeland\, who&rsquo\;s in the midst of organizing the famous Met Gala\, hosted at the museum and known across the city as the &ldquo\;party of the year.&rdquo\; \;Meanwhile\, Charlotte is now leading a quiet life as the associate curator of the Met&rsquo\;s celebrated Department of Egyptian Art. She&rsquo\;s consumed by her research on Hathorkare&mdash\;a rare female pharaoh dismissed by most other Egyptologists as unimportant. \;The night of the gala: One of the Egyptian art collection&rsquo\;s most valuable artifacts goes missing\, and there are signs Hathorkare&rsquo\;s legendary curse might be reawakening. Annie and Charlotte team up to search for the missing antiquity\, and a desperate hunch leads the unlikely duo to one place Charlotte swore she&rsquo\;d never return: Egypt. But if they have any hope of finding the artifact\, Charlotte will need to confront the demons of her past&mdash\;which may mean leading them both directly into danger.
