Publisher's summary

Young Magdalen and Jesus, brimming with youthful charm and arrogance, find each other and fall in love, forging a bond that is stronger than death. Their pleasure is overshadowed by a brilliant but unbalanced druid who knows a perilous secret about Maeve's past. The prequel to The Passion of Mary Magdalen.

I loved this. I am hooked.

I can’t wait for the next book. Maeve is everything I hoped she would be. Fierce, fearless, wild and beautiful. I am so thankful a dear friend recommended this book. What a wild ride it is.
