This is his legacy, This, and to know a very great love. Worldwide controversy surrounds author Maureen Paschal as she promotes her new bestsellerโthe explosive account of her discovery of a gospel written in Jesusโ own hand. But a scandalous headline about her lover, Bรฉrenger Sinclair, shatters Maureenโs plans and sends her to Florence. In Tuscany, Maureen and Bรฉrenger seek out their spiritual teacher Destino, who insists the besieged couple study one of historyโs great Poet Princes: Lorenzo deโ Medici, the godfather of the Italian Renaissance. Bรฉrenger is a Poet Prince of the ancient bloodline prophecy, and even across the centuries, his fate is intertwined with Lorenzo deโ Mediciโs. Bรฉrenger must uncover the heretical secrets of the Medici familyโand the shocking truth behind the birth of the Renaissanceโif 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 Bรฉrengerโs assumption of his rightful role. The Renaissance comes vividly to life as Maureen decodes the clues contained within the great masterpieces of Lorenzo the Magnificentโs 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 Bรฉrengerโs fate? As Maureen and Bรฉrenger 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.
