A deadly political rivalry that ended in two brutal executions...An intricate love triangle that altered the course of history...A religious revolution that changed the world...THE TREASURE...For two thousand years, an undiscovered treasure rested in the rocky wilds of the French Pyrenees. A series of scrolls written in the first century by Mary Magdalene, these startling documents hold the power to redefine the events and characters of the New Testament. Protected by supernatural forces, the priceless cache can only be uncovered by a special seeker, one who has been chosen for the task by divine providence - The Expected One. THE CHOSEN ONE...When journalist Maureen Paschal begins the research for a new book, she has no idea that she is stepping into an ancient mystery so complex and dangerous that thousands of people have killed and died for it. As a long buried family scandal comes to light, she can no longer deny her own role in a deadly drama of epic international consequences.
LOVED this novel, just loved it! As I have mentioned before I am a huge conspiracy theory fan, especially religious ones, so this was right up my alley! The characters were interesting and the storyline had a lot of twists and turns that kept me guessing until the end. My only criticism, and it is a small one, I found the chapters that Mary Magdalene "wrote" near the end to be a bit tedious and found myself skimming them to get back to the present day story. Overall a really good read and I have book #2 in the series already lined up on my nightstand!
