[edit] Plot summary
Annie Lockwood attends the new Ancient Egypt exhibit in the museum where she hopes to find some clue of Strat's survival. She is thoroughly disappointed to find that Strat is not in the picture of the Lightner archeological group. While at the museum she meets a young man named Lockwood Stratton, who she believes is Strat, coming from the past to be with her. They eventually get to talking, and Annie discovers that Lockwood does not know who she is. She is certain that Lockwood is indeed Strat and begs Time to allow her to stay with him. But soon Annie is pulled back in Time, but she goes back too far, and ends up in Ancient Egypt. A young Egyptian girl named Renifer cares for her and she soon becomes tangled in the world of tomb-robbers and murderers. Her pale skin and blue eyes earn her the name of "girl of ivory" and both she and Renifer wind up being offered as sacrifice for a dead queen.
Meanwhile, back in the late 1800s, Strat is on a dig in Egypt as a photographer. Having given up his father's line of work to go to school and study photography, he is one of the best. But in the sands he begins to see mirages of Annie Lockwood. He feels her presence often and especially when he finds a golden sandal hidden in a small tomb. He also finds himself at the hands of his father once again when one of his father's hired workers comes looking for him.
Strat is pulled back in time, and saves Annie from being buried alive. Their reunion is very short, and although Strat's screams marriage proposals to the wind and runs after Annie, she still slips through Time. Annie goes back to present, to her dismay, where she meets back with the young man named Lockwood Stratton. She is very upset to have been separated once again from Strat, but Lockwood Stratton reveals he has been looking for her throughout the day and tells her about a dream, where he was in the Nile river, traveling with British soldiers. He finds the dream curious, but Annie sees the possibility that Lockwood is really Strat. When Lockwood realizes his watch no longer works because it is full of sand, Annie asks to keep it "as a souvenir" when he chooses to throw it away.
