Journalist Maureen Pascal begins researching a new book and finds herself immersed in the mystical cultures of southwest France and the legend of Mary Magdalene. She has had visions all of her life and now she begins to put the pieces together, she and many others are descendants of the marriage between Mary Magdalen and Jesus. There is a hostile sect that reveres John the Baptist as the true messiah and will do what ever it takes to disavow the Magdalene group and keep Maureen who has been anointed The Expected One from finding the gospels Mary wrote. The book is rather interesting with its discussions of symbols in great Renaissance paintings and dredges up stories that have been played out in other books of this sort. This is the first of a planned trilogy.

Fundamentalists and evangelicals among other may find the entire premise of the book sacrilegious.
