About this ebook
The New York Times bestselling Magdalene Line series concludes with this “riveting” (People) religious mystery, as Maureen investigates the Renaissance art of Tuscany, where Botticelli, Donatello, and Michelangelo hid theirsecrets tied to the prophecy of the Poet Prince.
Worldwide controversy surrounds author Maureen Paschal as she promotes her explosive new book—a revelation of the lost gospel of Jesus, written in His own hand. But scandal soon erupts around her lover, Bérenger Sinclair, sending them to Florence, Italy, the heart of Renaissance Tuscany.
Together, Maureen and Bérenger consult their spiritual teacher Destino, who urges them to 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 a major religious conspiracy—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.
As Maureen decodes clues hidden in the masterpieces of Renaissance geniuses like Donatello and Da Vinci, she uncovers secrets connected to the legend of Longinus Gaius, the Roman centurion who pierced Christ’s side. Is the Spear of Destiny—long sought by tyrants and zealots—the key to Bérenger’s fate?
Combining the splendor of Renaissance art and history with high stakes thrills and suspense, The Poet Prince is perfect for fans of Dan Brown, Steve Berry, Deborah Harkness, and Kat Mosse.
