The Poet Prince: A Novel (The Magdalene Line, 3)

The Son of Man shall choose
When the time returns for the Poet Prince.
He will inspire the hearts and minds of the people
So as to illuminate the path of service
And show them the Way.
This is his legacy,
This, and to know a very great love.

Â
Worldwide controversy surrounds author Maureen Paschal as she promotes her new bestsellerâ€”the explosive account of her discovery of a gospel written in Jesusâ€™ own hand. But a scandalous headline about her lover, BÃ©renger Sinclair, shatters Maureenâ€™s plans and sends her to Florence. In Tuscany, Maureen and BÃ©renger seek out their spiritual teacher Destino, who insists the besieged couple study one of historyâ€™s great Poet Princes: Lorenzo deâ€™ Medici, the godfather of the Italian Renaissance. BÃ©renger is a Poet Prince of the ancient bloodline prophecy, and even across the centuries, his fate is intertwined with Lorenzo deâ€™ Mediciâ€™s. BÃ©renger must uncover the heretical secrets of the Medici familyâ€”and the shocking truth behind the birth of the Renaissanceâ€”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 BÃ©rengerâ€™s assumption of his rightful role.

The Renaissance comes vividly to life as Maureen decodes the clues contained within the great masterpieces of Lorenzo the Magnificentâ€™s friends: Donatello, Botticelli, and Michelangelo. Maureen uncovers truths connected to the legend of Longinus Gaius, the Roman centurion who used pierced the crucified Jesus with his spear. Could Longinus Gaius, doomed to live forever, be someone she knows? Could his infamous Spear of Destiny, sought even by Hitler, be the key to BÃ©rengerâ€™s fate? As Maureen and BÃ©renger race to find the answers, someone is after them, hell-bent on settling a five-hundred-year old blood feud and destroying the heresy once and for all.Â Â

Rich in Kathleen McGowanâ€™s signature insights into art, architecture, and history and set in the beauty of Renaissance and present-day Italy, this is a spiritual detective story of the highest order.
