WOW!!! A must-read for fans of books like The DaVinci Code, Angels and Demons, and The Last Cato.
This book centers around the theory that Mary Magdalene was Jesus's wife and that they had children. An American journalist begins to investigate the theory and is soon swept up in a world once unknown to her. Soon, she comes to the conclusion that she is the Chosen One to unlock the secret hiding place of Mary's Gospel.
This book is the first in an upcoming series. I can't wait for the second one!

This was an amazing book. I expected it to be among the likes of the DaVinci Code, and some parts were. But it was a very deep and moving novel, of an author who discovers the Magdalene Scrolls and explores the life of Mary Magdalene and her life with Jesus. It gave incredible insights as to what her life was like. The theories explained within were impressive, and I very much enjoyed how the author used her own experiences and her research to create a story of color and richness.
I never imagined there were so many societies, secret and not, theories, ideas and beliefs out there regarding Jesus Christ and his life, his family and his following.
It brought new insights to me, and I'll carry with me the most truthful quote I have read in a very, very long time. "History is not what happened. History is what was written down."

this well written book about the secrets of Mary Magdalene and other secret societies talks of the Expected One.Maureen Pascal stumbles upon these things and you follow her thru this exciting journey to find the gospels of Mary Magdalene.
What makes the book even better is the Afterword. the author describes her 20 years of discovery and how it affected her life. very interesting.

Awesome story of Mary Magdalene. I didn't know until I read the afterword that it's based on 2 decades of research by the author and that some of the events are from her own life. Very good reading... can't wait to read the 2nd in the trilogy.
