What if your lover betrayed you, crowning you with
sorrow? What if you were then kidnapped, threatened with
death? Brokenhearted, you almost wish that the kidnappers
would kill you. You wish your world would come to an end.
Only, you slowly realize, your world is everyone else's.
This is Fernanda's story. Fernanda first met Randy when he and his friend Chance
came to Mexico to celebrate graduating high school. It
was love at first sight. After a marvelous time together
and a single kiss, Randy smuggled Fernanda across the
border, at her request, to start a new life. But after
coming to America she lost contact with Randy. Ten years
passed before he tracked her down again, and reclaimed
her heart. They now live in a cabin next to a quartz crystal mine in
Arkansas. Fernanda has Randy's baby, a daughter, and all
seems well, if not for certain rumors on the internet.
Rumors that Fernanda is more than she appears to be. One
of the rumors says that she is actually Fernanda the
Ripper, member of a thousand year old Indian cult of
murderers. Another rumor says the opposite, that she is
actually Fernanda the Innocent, born to be sacrificed,
that she is perhaps even the long-awaited Christian
Messiah. In any event, the FBI are involved, are watching
the cabin and Fernanda's every movement. When Randy takes
Fernanda to Paris on their second honeymoon, the FBI
follow. Meanwhile FBI agent Ed Pushkin, on loan to INTERPOL, is
pursuing another case. He is told to go to the Saint
Anthony Chapel in Pittsburgh to investigate the theft of
a holy relic, a thorn from the Crown of Thorns. The
investigation leads to London, where another holy thorn
has been stolen from an exquisite reliquary in the
British Museum, and a guard killed. In London Ed meets
Chief Investigator Phoebe Mullins, who has a preposterous
theory that leads them to Paris, to the Cathedral of
Notre Dame, where the original Crown of Thorns is kept
under lock and key. After a series of events in Paris that bring the
individuals involved in these two FBI cases together,
Fernanda is taken by strange men on a train to Istanbul,
followed by Ed and CI Mullins and Randy. In ancient
Istanbul, formerly Constantinople, Fernanda must make a
decision that could impact not only her baby but all
mankind.
