El legado de la Madonna (Spanish Edition) - Softcover
The XIX century is coming to an end when priest Bérenger Saunière arrives to his new parish in the small village of Rennes-le-Château, in the south of France. The presbytery presents a ramshackle state so, during the restoration works, the clergyman Saunière lodges at the home of the family Dénarnaud, where he meets Marie, his future housekeeper and lover. They both share a passion for history and a forbidden love that grows day by day. During one of their investigations they find some old parchments in one of the Visigothic pillars of the church, whose content can shatter the very foundations of the Catholic Church, a church willing to do everything to assure their silence. The story told by the parchments had begun centuries before when, in the Roman county of Judea, Miryam of Magdala came by the sepulcher of Yeshua. Somebody whispered her name outside, in the garden; Miryam felt his presence and, at the same time, the certainty that a new life was growing under her vestments. This is an intrigue story around the enigmatic figure of Maria Magdalene, where author Amy Hassinger revives forgotten historical characters. El siglo XIX está tocando a su fin cuando el párroco Bérenger Saunière llega a su nueva parroquia en la pequeña aldea de Rennes-le-Château, en el sur de Francia. El presbiterio presenta un estado ruinoso por lo que, durante los trabajos de restauración, el clérigo Saunière se aloja en casa de la familia Dénarnaud, donde conoce a Marie, su futura ama de llaves y amante. Los dos comparten la pasión por la historia y un amor prohibido que ha ido creciendo día a día. Durante una de sus investigaciones encuentran en uno de los pilares visigóticos de la iglesia unos antiguos pergaminos cuyo contenido puede hacer temblar los cimientos de la Iglesia católica, una Iglesia dispuesta a todo para asegurar su silencio.
