Set in present-day Africa, yet indelibly linked to the world of River God nearly four thousand years ago, The Seventh Scroll is another magnificent adventure from a master storyteller. A fading legacy from beyond the grave, the Seventh Scroll holds the clues to a fabulous treasure from an almost forgotten time. Duraid Al Simmu and his beautiful half-English, half-Egyptian wife, Royan, were the first to discover the tomb of Queen Lostris.
