AN ANCIENT SCROLL A 4,000 YEAR OLD LEGACY A BATTLE FOR THE TRUTH
It is 4,000 years since the battle for the Egyptian Kingdom, and Duraid and Royan al Simma have just uncovered the tomb of the ancient Egyptian Queen, Lostris, alongside the secret scrolls of the most trusted servant of the Pharaoh, Taita. When the couple are the victims of a vicious attack that leaves Duraid dead, Royan realises that she must continue their joint work: to use the secrets of the seventh scroll to find the hidden tomb of Pharaoh Mamose, and its untold trove of lost Egyptian riches.
To do so, she must bury her grief and partner with the eccentric aristocrat Nicholas Quenton-Harper, a man who shares her passion for the ancient world. But the men who killed her husband are not yet finished. As Royan and Nicholas draw closer to the Pharaoh's tomb, enemies are gathering - people who will stop at nothing to ensure the scroll's promised treasures are kept from Royan's hands . . .

Quotes by Wilbur Smith
From WikiquoteSomething always dies when the lion feeds — and yet there is meat for those that follow him.
"When a traveller gets a thorn in his foot," Mbejane went on softly, "and he is wise, he plucks it out — and he is a fool, he leaves it and says, 'I will keep this thorn to prick me so that I will always remember the road upon which I have travelled.' Nkosi, it is better to remember with pleasure than with pain."
Beware of your most implacable enemy — yourself.
