ANCIENT PROPHECY, TWO HEARTBROKEN LOVERS, AND A WORLDWIDE SCAVENGER HUNT FOR
THREE MIRACULOUS PAINTINGS.
After
her husband’s death, New York artist Claire Lucas has baffling dreams and
waking visions as she channels an enigmatic and healing painting of a holy man
in India at the deathbed of a young woman. When widowed antiquarian Richard
Markson announces that Claire’s canvas is one-third of three paintings
prophesied by the Angel Scroll, a recently discovered Dead Sea parchment, she
is pulled into an international scavenger hunt to find the stolen scroll and
the paintings it predicts.
As
she pursues the paintings with Richard across historic and holy sites in
America, Israel, and Europe, Claire encounters a series of remarkable teachers.
A Buddhist, a Benedictine monk, and a professor of early goddess worship all
provide rich explanations for the artist’s compelling and perplexing psychic
experiences — until she assembles the incredible triptych and deciphers its
inspirational message for the modern world.

Excerpt
Three:
Hilde. Simply to think of her was to feel her presence,
vibrant, beautiful, inviting. She had brought color, excitement, and warmth to
his somber life of rigid routines and serious study. No matter how hard he
tried, Richard couldn’t stop the memory of Hilde’s beautiful face and perfect
body from moving through his memory a hundred times a day. He saw her blond
hair, cut in a shimmering, sophisticated bob. He pictured how she pushed the
hair on one side behind her ears and stroked her neck, as if to remind him how
exciting her touch was. He remembered how she would arouse him by
absentmindedly caressing him throughout the day. She gave him lingering kisses
hello in the morning, and trailed her fingers in a light touch across his back
when he was lost in study. She sometimes ran her palm down his arm with an
exciting pressure as they talked. And at night, her hands felt for him hungrily
beneath the sheets, as he wrapped himself around the beautiful body he had
craved all day and finally took his pleasure.
Richard had memorized every inch of his wife’s lithe, petite
frame that radiated so much sex appeal. She was vivacious, the center of
attention in any group, but languid and seductive when they were alone. Mostly
it was her laugh, throaty and full of easy warmth, that haunted him. Her
cornflower blue eyes would brighten, and her lovely face would soften and
transform itself with an even lovelier smile to accompany that unforgettable
laugh. How could he speak of Hilde when it hurt so much just to think about
her?
