A papyrus written nearly four thousand years ago may reveal the resting place of a pharaoh and an extraordinary hoard of treasure. For Egyptologist Royan Al Simma, deciphering its clues has been a shared life's work, until a savage attack leaves her husband dead and their research stolen. Determined to continue, she turns to the adventurous aristocrat Nicholas Quenton-Harper. Together they follow the elusive trail left by the ancient scribe Taita, knowing that the people who attacked Royan are still pursuing the same prize. Wilbur Smith carries the world of River God into a modern adventure filled with archaeological puzzles, dangerous landscapes and ruthless competitors, where uncovering a lost civilisation's secrets may depend on surviving very contemporary enemies.
