Together, they will embark on a breathtaking journey to the most exotic locale on earth, where the greatest mystery of ancient Egypt, a chilling danger, and an explosive passion are waiting. Steeped in ancient mystery, drama, and action, Wilbur Smith's The Seventh Scroll will pull you in for an adventure of a lifetime.
