The Eye of Sayf-Udeen

A document is found in a Vatican archive and the search is on for the Eye of Sayf-Udeen, a fabled casket containing holy relics. The trail ends in Portugal, the last refuge of the Templars. The Vatican has waited seven centuries to regain the casket but there are sinister forces at work with a far older claim. Father Afonso finds himself at the centre of a struggle for ownership that has tragic consequences as his allegiance to family and vocation are tested. Set against a backdrop of the Algarve, the Eye of Sayf-Udeen is a tale of discovery, betrayal and greed, combining intellectual treasure hunt with adventure in a tale that is both historically engaging and exciting. The Eye of Sayf-Udeen is a sequel to Roger Hardy's first novel: Miracle in Carvoeiro.
