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.

This radical story rocked me world. One of the best female characters I have ever read.

Book of Longings meets Mists of Avalon. I enjoyed the story, told in the first person very much. The main character — willful and bursting with life and magic — has a lot to say and says it well. Normally I would enjoy too much poetic description in a story but the main character’s language is accessible and compelling.

I wasn’t so sure about some of the accents that the reader affected but I took it with a grain of salt and soon moved past it.

I’ll buy another book in the series and recommend this to my girlfriends who enjoy magical tales with strong female solidarity and sovereignty.

Unique and poetic.
