10 giugno 1940. Mentre l'Italia di Mussolini entra in guerra, nel giardino incantato di una villa in Toscana quattro ragazzi giocano a tennis. La Storia irrompe dentro la loro giovinezza beata e li costringe a prendere in mano la propria vita. La Contessina Ottavia Valiani ha quattordici anni e il sole addosso. La sorella minore, Verdiana, la spia dall'ombra. È timida, bruttina, forse cattiva. Entrambe vivono la condanna insita nell'essere sorelle e anche donne: una è il metro di giudizio dell'altra.

Hatschepsut warnt Theo vor der Welt der Magie und sagt ihr, sie soll eine "Beschützerin" sein. Noch weiß Theo nichts mit der Vision anzufangen. Sie räumt mit Henry alle verzauberten Exponate im Museum an sichere Orte. Als Clive eine "Ka-Tür" durchs Museum schiebt, erkennt Theo ihre starke Magie. Bei den Hausaufgaben kann sich Theo nicht konzentrieren. Die "Ka-Tür" lockt sie.

Theo, Henry, Safiya und Will rätseln, was Aapep jetzt vorhat. Theo glaubt, dass er, wie eine Batterie, seine Energie aufladen muss und dafür magische Artefakte benötigt. Deshalb lässt Aapep die Artefakte aus den Museen stehlen. Das seiner Magie beraubte Unsichtbarkeitsseil bestätigt ihre Vermutung.

Theo und Safiya finden sich in der Nähe von Hatschepsuts Tempel wieder. Sie glauben, dass sie das Auge hierhergebracht hat, um den Stab des Osiris zu finden und Auge und Stab zu verbinden. Doch bis dahin haben sie Schwierigkeiten zu überwinden: eine Sackgasse, eine Grube, schwierig zu lesende Inschriften, scharfe Schwerter und Schlangen, die ihnen auf den Fersen sind.

Theo glaubt, dass das Horusauge mit einem Fluch belegt wurde. Denn als ihr Vater Alistair das Auge berührt, erkrankt er sehr schwer und kein Arzt kann helfen. Theo sucht das Gegenmittel. Sie vermutet einen Verwandlungsfluch, denn Gegenspieler "Schlange Vincent", der das Auge ebenfalls berührt hat, verwandelt sich in eine Kobra.

Theo, Saf, Henry und Will malen sich aus, wie sie Aapep schlagen könnten und was sie dann mit ihm anstellen, denn das schützende Brunnengitter in der großen Pyramide ist zerstört. Aber noch sind sie nicht im Besitz des Flegels und das Sistrum, das Theo für den Wiederherstellungszauber benötigt, hat sie in der Lagerhalle verloren.

Die Kinder entkommen der Schlange durch ein Kellerloch. Theo kann vorher noch ein Buch mit Zaubersprüchen gegen Flüche an sich bringen. Für die Aktion gibt es allerdings Strafarbeiten. Theo und Henry werden auf ihr Zimmer geschickt und sollen Clive helfen, Uschebtis zu verpacken, die als Leihgabe ans Britische Museum gehen sollen.

Im ganzen Land werden auf Aapeps Befehl hin Mumien gestohlen und an einen geheimen Ort befohlen. So erwacht auch im Museum eine Mumie zum Leben und Theo will sie benutzen, um Aapep zu finden. In der Nacht brechen die vier Freunde durch Wills neue Schlösserknack-Künste in die Lagerhalle ein.
