Book Summary
The Seventh Scroll is a 1995 adventure novel by Wilbur Smith, the second book in his Egyptian series.
The story follows Dr. Royan Al Simma, a brilliant Egyptologist, who, after her husband is murdered and their research stolen, is determined to continue their work decoding an ancient papyrus known as the seventh scroll. This scroll supposedly contains clues to the hidden tomb of Pharaoh Mamose and its unimaginable riches.
Royan teams up with Nicholas Quenton-Harper, a daring aristocratic adventurer who shares her passion for ancient history. Together they embark on a perilous and thrilling journey from Cairo to the highlands of Ethiopia in search of the lost tomb. Along the way they encounter dangerous enemies who will stop at nothing to seize the treasure for themselves.
The novel mixes archaeological mystery, action, danger, and exotic landscapes in a fast-paced treasure hunt reminiscent of classic adventure tales.
