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!' - Kate Mosse, author of LABYRINTHTom Egeland has written eight critically acclaimed thrillers, and has worked as a journalist, most recently as news director at one of the largest Norwegian television stations, TV2. He lives in Oslo, where he now writes full-time.
