Description

About the Book

The co-author of the "New York Times" bestselling "Adventures of a Psychic," a biography of clairvoyant Sylvia Browne, makes her fiction debut with this awe-inspiring retelling of the last days of Jesus, as seen through the eyes of the wife of Pontius Pilate.

From the Back Cover

A daughter of privilege in the most powerful empire the world has ever known, Claudia has a unique and disturbing "gift" her dreams have an uncanny way of coming true. As a rebellious child seated beside the tyrannical Roman Emperor Tiberius, she first spies the powerful gladiator who will ultimately be her one true passion. Yet it is the ambitious magistrate Pontius Pilate who intrigues the impressionable young woman she becomes, and Claudia finds her way into his arms by means of a mysterious ancient magic. Pilate is her grand destiny, leading her to Judaea and plunging her into a seething cauldron of open rebellion. But following her friend Miriam of Magdala's confession of her ecstatic love for a charismatic religious radical, Claudia begins to experience terrifying visions--horrific premonitions of war, injustice, untold devastation and damnation . . . and the crucifixion of a divine martyr whom she must do everything in her power to save.
