The book is published by Aschehoug and is a Book of the Month selection in both Bokklubben Krim og Spenning og Cappelens Bokklubb.
In the year 1013, Viking warriors raided an Egyptian tomb and unknowingly stole the greatest secret of the Old Testament …
Neurotic, quirky archaeologist Bjørn Beltø leads an average life, until the day he finds ancient Viking parchments containing rune chiffers and code riddles, which lead him on a quest from the wild Icelandic landscape and Norwegian stave churches to Egyptian tombs, antiquarian book stores in Rome, and even across the Atlantic to America and a mysterious palace in the Caribbean.
Powerful forces are against him, but the relentless archaeologist manages to unveil a historical and religious cover-up with potentially fatal consequences.
Part thriller, part intellectual quest, Guardians of the covenant explores Biblical and historical myths.
