Free of the Myrmekes and one obstinate shabti crawling around just outside of camp proper, the Kronos Kids must come up with their plan on figuring out the last part of Rachel’s painting - the mysterious falcon. Could James the shabti’s “acceptable” master be the one the falcon represents? Or is it someone else? How will the three get rid of the shabti with two of them still unclaimed?
