Riassunto

The third book in the Magdalene Line Trilogy takes Maureen to Florence, where she begins training in the secret teachings of The Order of the Holy Sepulcher. Under the guidance of her new teacher, Destino, she discovers the fascinating story of Lorenzo de Medici - the godfather of the Renaissance and the greatest patron of the arts in history. But Lorenzo's obsession was not with culture alone. Instead, he worked carefully to create a body of work which would preserve a series of ancient secrets - secrets too powerful and dangerous to be committed to writing. But Maureen's most explosive discovery affects the person closest to her, as she realizes that her lover, Berenger, shares an extraordinary legacy with Lorenzo de Medici. Both men were born under the auspices of a prophecy found in the early writing of the Bloodline - the prophecy of the Poet Prince. But as Berenger and Maureen explore the daunting task of filling Lorenzo's place in the 21st Century, they find themselves the subject of an ancient vendetta hell-bent on destroying the heresy and ending Maureen's life in the process.

Dalla seconda/terza di copertina

A heretical legacy
A dangerous sacrifice
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.
There, under the guidance of her teacher, Destino, Maureen discovers the fascinating story of Lorenzo de' Medici - the godfather of the Renaissance and one of history's great Poet Princes. During his lifetime, Lorenzo worked carefully to create a body of work which would preserve a series of ancient secrets - secrets too powerful and dangerous to be committed to writing.
But Maureen's most explosive discovery affects the person closest to her, as she realizes that Berenger shares an extraordinary legacy with Lorenzo de' Medici. He 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. But these secrets were hidden for a reason, and there are those who would stop at nothing to prevent Maureen and Berenger and destroy the heresy once and for all.
