THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD!
A POLITICAL RIVALRY THAT ENDED IN TWO EXECUTIONS
AN INTRICATE LOVE TRIANGLE THAT ALTERED THE COURSE OF
HISTORY
A RELIGIOUS REVOLUTION THAT CHANGED THE WORLD Two thousand years ago, Mary Magdalene hid a set of
scrolls in the rocky foothills of the French Pyrenees, a
gospel that contained her own version of the events and
characters of the New Testament. Protected by supernatural
forces, these sacred scrolls could be uncovered only by a
special seeker, one who fulfills the ancient prophecy of
l'attendue -- The Expected One. When journalist Maureen Pascal begins the research for a
new book, she has no idea that she is stepping into an
ancient mystery so secret, so revolutionary, that
thousands of people have killed and died for it. She
becomes deeply immersed in the mystical cultures of
southwest France as the eerie prophecy of The Expected One
casts a shadow over her life and work and a long-buried
family secret comes to light. Maureen's extraordinary journey takes her from the dusty
streets of Jerusalem to the cathedrals of Paris . . . and
ultimately to search for the scrolls themselves. She must
unravel clues that link history's great artistic masters,
including Sandro Botticelli, Nicolas Poussin, and Jean
Cocteau; the Medici, Bourbon, and Borgia dynasties; and
great scientific minds like Leonardo da Vinci and Isaac
Newton. Ultimately, she, and the reader, come face-to-face
with Jesus Christ, Mary Magdalene, John the Baptist,
Judas, and Salome in the pages of a deeply moving and
powerful new gospel, the life of Jesus as told by Mary
Magdalene.
