For nearly two millennia, the Ordo Silentii-the Order of Silence-has erased gospels, letters, and histories that threatened the Church's authority. Until now, it has succeeded. When Dr. Susan Hale uncovers an ancient scroll in the hills of Provence, she and historian Alister Duram are thrust into a perilous chase across Europe and the Middle East. The scroll, written in the voices of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, tells a story that could shake the very foundations of Christianity-and alter the world itself. From the Amalfi cliffs to ancient vaults beneath the Vatican, the Ordo Silentii will stop at nothing to silence them before the truth can be revealed.Voir livre
