Staří Egypťané uměli oživovat obrazy zemřelých a vdechovat život sochám. Příběhy z doby osmnácté dynastie, kdy vládl podivínský faraon Achnaton, ožívají v osudech Nefertiiti, Tutanchamona, vezíra Aje a dalších. V královském dvoře i v ulicích starověkých měst se mísí mystika kultů a esoterické poznání. Po smrti Achnatona se vládcem stává jeho nezletilý syn Tutanchamon, který se zamiluje do své nevlastní sestry Anchesenamon. Mezitím roste dcera královského architekta Akiasare, jejíž otec slouží králi ve dne a v noci je služebníkem boha Anupa. Akiasare se setká s vampýrem Dakh, a jejich osudy se proplétají.
