Drawn to the legendary Hourglass of Amun-Ra, an artifact said to control the flow of time itself, Alex, Jamie, Maddie, and Kit uncover a devastating truth—the hourglass is destabilizing the timeline. As shadowy guardians of the artifact emerge and chaos consumes the Valley of the Kings, the team races against time to prevent a catastrophe that could erase centuries of history.
