After returning from France, Robyn wants nothing more than to snuggle in the arms of her vampire husband and lover, Maxim. When Maxim, New Amsterdam's vampire hunter, is called to work, Robyn finds a mummy has been added to the art collection she manages. While Maxim follows his case, Robyn decides to dive headfirst into yet another mummy mystery.
Maxim has been working on a case that might involve a dark conspiracy, but more than anything, the case forces him to confront scars from the past. He can no longer hide how damaged he is from the woman he loves. He may have hidden the truth from her for too long already, and Maxim fears that Robyn will find him unworthy of her love and desire.
In the aftermath of Maxim's tumultuous case and the emotions it's forced him to confront, the mummy turns out to be more murderous than anyone expected. It's not a mummy's curse that's been triggered, but the beginnings of a conspiracy Maxim fears he and those he loves may not easily be rid of.
