Jock Slater, artist and Egyptologist, is 'taken over' by a reincarnated Ancient Egyptian Queen. She mesmerises him into a fantastic painting of when she was a young bride (for she is now a very old lady) so she can return to her own time. But one vital ingredient is missing: the Maat Mirror, or Mirror of Time: and in order to retrieve his sanity and his freedom The Artist risks travelling the False Door of Time into the ancient Dimension of Nethertime. Here aided by the genies, Ogadile and Smirtin, The Artist pursues an epic journey where ancient forces of evil employ their magic and trickery to possess the Mirror for their own sinister purposes and to prevent the Queen from resurrecting.
