Au Musee metropolitain d'art de New York s'ouvrira demain la plus grande exposition d'egyptologie jamais montee. Alex Sennefer, 11 ans, la decouvre avant tout le monde, sans savoir que, demain, il mourra pour la premiere fois... Alex souffre depuis sa petite enfance d'une maladie qui lui cause de violentes crises. Pour ne pas l'inquieter, il evite de trop en parler a sa mere, le Dr Maggie Bauer, specialiste en egyptologie. D'autant qu'elle a d'autres chats a fouetter: elle travaille d'arrache-pied a une grande exposition consacree aux neuf Sortileges disparus du Livre des morts. Ces mysterieuses formules antiques sont censees etre d'une puissance extreme; selon certains, elles auraient meme le pouvoir de ressusciter les morts. Aussi, quand Alex est pris d'une crise plus grave que les autres, sa mere decide de recourir a cette magie des temps anciens... sans savoir que cela aura des consequences desastreuses.
