The Seventh Scroll (The Egyptian Novels, Band 2)

The Seventh Scroll: a fading papyrus that holds clues to the location of the Pharaoh Mamose's tomb - and the hoard of treasure within - written nearly 4,000 years ago by a slave, Taita.

Royan Al Simma and her husband Duraid begin a search for the burial chamber that takes them from the Nile to the uplands of Ethiopia. But there are others who would kill to claim the prize, and a savage battle to unlock the scroll's secrets begins.

When Duraid is brutally murdered, Royan is forced to seek refuge in England. With the help of eminent archaeologist Nicholas Quenton-Harper, she picks up the pieces of her shattered life and finds the courage to return to Ethiopia. Together Royan and Nicholas embark on a dangerous journey to solve ancient Egypt's greatest mystery . . .
