From the banks of the Nile and the tombs of the dead, the ancient past reaches out its hand to the present. Immortals have trod the Earth for millennia, watching from the shadows the unfolding of human history. They are the Reborn, the undying instruments of Horus the Avenger -- or, more prosaically, mummies. They have waged war on the vampire-god Set and his followers since the dawn of civilization.

The ritual that created the Reborn did not give them the ability to physically live forever, but rather deprived them of the ability to permanently die. Mummies go through cycles of death and rebirth that resemble reincarnation, except that a mummy always returns to the same physical body upon rebirth. The cycle of living in the physical world, dying, living in the spirit world, and resurrection in the flesh has continued for millennia for the select men and women of ancient Egypt who were blessed with (or cursed by) the Spell of Life.

The woman known as Nefrina led her first life during the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt, the golden age of the Old Kingdom. She was a high-class courtesan, providing noble patrons with entertainment, conversation, and companionship, not merely pleasures of the bedchamber.

It was her political acumen and insight into human nature that made her an unlikely conscript in the hidden war against Set. When she took a poison dart to save the life of her patron, who was in truth one of the Reborn, the mummy swore that her courage and skill would not pass from this world on his account. On the doorstep of death, Nefrina was inducted into the secret rites of the Cult of Isis and joined the ranks of the Reborn.

Since then, she has lived countless lives in the service of Horus. Today, her name is Rashida Hourani, a Lebanese archaeology student and research assistant. Through this unassuming guise she works to unearth the glory of ancient Egypt, and subtly guides the hands and minds of those who believe that they are her superiors. If they only knew that the young woman in their midst was as old as the pyramids!
