Relic cover

A golden relic, containing an ancient manuscript that could change the course of history, has been hidden in a monastery. But nobody knows where.

One determined man sets out to find this sensational artefact and to trace its origins. His quest takes him via a scientific intelligence organization in London, a Middle Eastern outpost and a Crusaders' castle, as layer by layer he reveals the religious mysteries inside the Shrine of Sacred Secrets.

Coined by critics as 'the Norwegian Da Vinci Code', Relic is a masterful concoction of history and intrigue.

Praise for THE GUARDIANS OF THE COVENANT:
'A complex and fast-paced conspiracy thriller of Old Norse myth, Ancient Egyptian superstition and Christian secret societies. With codes, runes, hidden maps, archaic symbols, it's a treat for all fans of Steve Berry, Raymond Khoury and Dan Brown!'
