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

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, Bérenger Sinclair, shatters
Maureen’s plans and sends her to Florence. In Tuscany,
Maureen and Bérenger 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. Bérenger is a Poet
Prince of the ancient bloodline prophecy, and even across
the centuries, his fate is intertwined with Lorenzo de’
Medici’s. Bérenger 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 Bérenger’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 Bérenger’s
fate? As Maureen and Bérenger 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. The Truth Against the World!
