ASIN B00D0OP95E moved to the most recent edition here Historians have believed for eighteen hundred years that Helen, mother of Emperor Constantine, found the True Cross and Crown of Thorns in 323 A.D. The experts are wrong. Ancient manuscripts unearthed in a Warsaw museum might skew the beliefs on which many of the world's leading religions are founded. The discovery in Poland sparks a quest to find a supposedly mythical, secret Gospel and ancient Koran text believed hidden in Spain centuries ago. Two young scholars follow a path forged by King John of Poland and later by Ponce de Leon to America. The records indicate that Ponce de Leon purportedly secreted the Crown of Thorns and other valuable treasure in the New World. There are those that wish them dead before they succeed in their quest that could ultimately change two of the world major religions and eliminate the head of the Catholic Church.

Bridget and Scott Donavan told the world they had located the true Crown of Thorns, the staff of St. Peter, and some ancient sacred text scared to both Christian and Islamic faiths. Unfortunately, they had given their promise of silence to the Vatican representative for four million dollars. Multiple twisting circumstances lead them believe the Holy See has released the information and the Vatican believes the Donavans broke their commitment. The Papal office subsequently denied all claims made by the Donavans. They are characterized to the world as perpetrators of a grand hoax. This has dire consequences for Bridget and Scott Donavan. At this same time, the archenemy of the Donavans has sent two separate assassins to eliminate Bridget for her deliberate infliction of death on a member of his family. He has sworn to destroy her. He will not give up until she is dead. They found the ancient sacred relic, the crown of thorns. They gave their word to keep that secret for money. They broke their word and the repercussions are devastating.
