"The Son of Man shall choose
When the time returns for the Poet Prince.
He will inspire the hearts and minds of the people
So as to illuminate the path of service
And show them the Way.
This is his legacy,
This, and to know a very great love."
Worldwide controversy surrounds author Maureen Paschal as she
promotes her new bestseller--the explosive account of her discovery
of a gospel written in Jesus' own hand. But a scandalous headline
about her lover, Berenger Sinclair, shatters Maureen's plans and
sends her to Florence. In Tuscany, Maureen and Berenger seek out
their spiritual teacher Destino, who insists the besieged couple
study one of history's great Poet Princes: Lorenzo de' Medici, the
godfather of the Italian Renaissance. Berenger is a Poet Prince of
the ancient bloodline prophecy, and even across the centuries, his
fate is intertwined with Lorenzo de' Medici's. Berenger must
uncover the heretical secrets of the Medici family--and the
shocking truth behind the birth of the Renaissance--if he is to
fulfill his own destiny. These heretical secrets were hidden for a
reason, and there are those who would stop at nothing to prevent
Berenger's assumption of his rightful role.
The Renaissance comes vividly to life as Maureen decodes the clues
contained within the great masterpieces of Lorenzo the
Magnificent's friends: Donatello, Botticelli, and Michelangelo.
Maureen uncovers truths connected to the legend of Longinus Gaius,
the Roman centurion who used pierced the crucified Jesus with his
spear. Could Longinus Gaius, doomed to live forever, be someone she
knows? Could his infamous Spear of Destiny, sought even by Hitler,
be the key to Berenger's fate? As Maureen and Berenger race to find
the answers, someone is after them, hell-bent on settling a
five-hundred-year old blood feud and destroying the heresy once and
for all.
Rich in Kathleen McGowan's signature insights into art,
architecture, and history and set in the beauty of Renaissance and
present-day Italy, this is a spiritual detective story of the
highest order.
